SYNOPSIS

metamorphosis. follows Theo, a young gay man living in Philadelphia, as he reflects on his life struggles in his therapy session with his therapist - Dr. Rozz. Through their conversation, Theo opens up about the struggles he’s faced with his sexuality, at times feeling alienated not only in a heteronormative world, but even within the LGBTQ+ community. Embracing his vulnerability as he opens up about both low and high moments in his life, Theo explores the obstacles in a world often unwelcoming to gay men. In navigating the challenges of young gay adult life - including homophobia, low self-esteem, alcohol and drug abuse, and sexual violence - metamorphosis. underscores the importance of the need to embrace the full spectrum of the human experience.
