Before Bloom

Directed by Ludvig Christian Næsted Poulsen

Hannah is in a hospital room. She has just had the crucial gender reassignment surgery that completes her transformation from boy to girl. She knows she has to be in the hospital for a week until the wounds heal, but the white walls and endless waiting before she can fly from the nest seem insurmountable. There is emptiness, and only the memory of the things she has lived through reverberates in her consciousness.
