Identity isn’t a fixed truth; it’s a layered, shifting terrain. Through grief, queerness, culture, memory, and myth, each character reaches toward something more honest - sometimes painful, sometimes liberating. From stop-motion spirits to small-town returns, this collection invites us into the quiet, difficult, and beautiful work of becoming.
Feeling overwhelmed and isolated on the day of his wedding, Arman, a closeted gay immigrant, must lie to his family on the phone about his marriage in the United States. Moments before walking down the aisle, he’s uncertain how to move forward.
