About Normality I

What is normality? These short films explore how our daily lives and mental health are influenced by sexuality, neurodiversity, body image and long-term health conditions.

Featuring both drama and documentary, the protagonists in these short films turn to dressing up, creativity, art and music to sustain an identity through which they can navigate their challenging worlds.
