PEAFOWL + EY YOU! (SHORT FILM)

SHOWTIME: Sunday July 16th at 12 PM

SYNOPSIS: Shin, (played by Hae-jun), is an exceptionally skilled dancer specializing in waacking – a dance style akin to voguing that emphasizes striking poses. She is gearing up for a dance battle final, which holds enormous significance for her. The prize money would be sufficient to fund her gender-affirming surgery if she was victorious.

However, Shin's life takes a turn when her estranged father passes away. Being the only child, she must perform a traditional dance ritual at his memorial service. This necessitates an uneasy return to the rural community she left behind.

Intriguingly, Shin is not alone on this journey; she is guided by a mystical peacock that serves as her spirit guide. With a mix of defiance, poise, and self-assuredness, she confronts the challenges ahead. Along the way, she remains true to her identity while softening some of her guarded exterior.
