临界点 Threshold

“Threshold” is an autobiographical documentary made by a mother who follows the gender transition of her adolescent son. Between 2016 and 2019 she interviews him, addressing the conflicts, certainties and uncertainties that pervade him in a deep search for his identity. At the same time, the mother, revealed through first-person narration and by her voice behind the camera that talks to her son also goes through a process of transformation required by the situation that life presents her with, by breaking old paradigms, facing fears and dismantling prejudices.
