The Jacket

The Jacket follows Juliet through another day. Wearing Jack, she adopts his environment in fear of exposure, for would she be accepted if the world knew her truth? She is faced by memories that further her fight to accept herself, and is caught in a conflict between maintaining her relationship with her girlfriend and the growing desire to be open about her identity.

A trans-centric narrative that resonates with the universal struggle of identity, and the conflict between perception and self-acceptance.
