Strange Odd
Fiction | 15 min | 2016 | HD
Strange Odd is freely inspired by a fragment of a poem by Drummond: “Nobody is like anyone else. Every human being is a unique stranger.”
An 8-year-old boy lives the misadventures of his sexuality in front of an adult world that is not prepared to deal with his children's initiation into pre-adolescence. Set in 1986, the film walks through the innocence of childhood in that decade, surrounded by the enormous social pressure of definitions about sexuality.
