“Can I kiss you?”. Two months to go before the world premiere of Juno and Elliot Page was in his first queer bar. The summer heat weighed down around him as he looked at the girl. And then it happened. In front of everyone. An incomprehensible experience. There he was, about to come out as a queer person, as a trans person. He was getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he had been burdened with for so long. But for Elliot, taking two steps forward always meant taking another step back.
With the great success of Juno, Elliot became one of the most beloved actors in the world. His dreams came true, but the pressure to perform was suffocating him. He was forced to play the role of a bright young star, something that gave him goosebumps, on and off the set. The race that had helped him escape reality from him to an imaginary world suddenly turned into a nightmare.

But deep down, this beautifully written, winding journey speaks to what it means to disentangle ourselves from the expectations of others. It is an ode about embracing who we are with rebellion, strength and joy.
