A short film following a queer, revisionist narrative, taking as its core the story of Andra, a former MTV VJ and host in Indonesia from 2007-2011. Using humour, performance, and poetry, Andra tracks their evolution from a young, rising star in Bandung to a non-binary transmasculine adult living a private life as a kindergarten teacher in Berlin. The film maps the limits of expression in the early 2000s media imaginary and the gendered constraints that Andra often found themselves in, as well as the slow unlearning of their identity.
