Sinossi
On the Isles of Scilly, at a Christening party in the local pub, 16-year-old trans teenager, Cam, feels awkward and out of place in his small island community. When Teän (20) arrives, confident and unashamedly out in their non-binary identity, Cam finally feels seen. Their presence sparks something more sinister for Cam’s older brother, Jago, who causes a scene in the pub. To heal, Teän and Cam escape and walk the coast path. They end up on the beach, where Teän has a plan to make their trans mark on the island.
