Landlocked
International Feature Film Competition
Nick strives to be the perfect husband and father and avoid his parents’ mistakes -- when he was a child, his trans parent, Briana, left the family. The recent death of his mother, however, pushes Nick to contact Briana. The duo set off on a journey to the coast where they plan to scatter the ashes. Will they overcome the initial incomprehension of the gender identity of the ageing parent and find some common ground? This intimate road movie addresses the painful topic of problems between children and their trans parents and will enchant you with the acting performances. The fleeting glimpses into the past and music by Son of Cloud help to make Landlocked an experience for all the senses, a fact also confirmed by the film winning the Gió Stajano prize at the Lovers Film festival in Torino.
