MASC
Desperate to fit in, a young autistic man tries on different roles to understand what kind of man he’s supposed to be.
Description
U.S. Premiere
Robin is a young man caught between multiple identities—autistic, biracial, queer, and unsure of what kind of man he wants to be. This dilemma leads to an intimate, at times funny, journey of self-discovery and missteps over the course of a critical year.
As Robin tries on different roles and drifts from job to job, he reshapes his appearance and mannerisms to fit in. But will revealing what he’s most desperate to hide finally open the door to belonging?
This screening will be followed by a Q&A.
