Being Marilyn

In the grease-stained world of an auto repair shop, Sean grapples with coming out as trans. This bittersweet film navigates the intricate lanes of identity, mentorship, and acceptance in the face of personal revelation.
When the accidental discovery of red lingerie sparks rumours of Sean’s steamy sex life, only Roger discerns Sean’s secret. An unexpected kinship then blossoms between Roger, the experienced mechanic with a secret life in drag, and Sean, the new young apprentice. However, as their bond deepens, it’s clear they have different aspirations as Sean struggles with confused emotions.

Based on a short story “The Dress” by Justin Hamlin.
