Overman

Set in the emotional ruins of the post-Soviet space, this film follows a trans woman through her second year after transition. Haunted by family, silence, and the remnants of her former self, she begins to break free. Thailand becomes her place of rebirth — not escape, but transformation. The film reclaims Nietzsche’s concept of the Overman — not as a cold superhuman ideal, but as a fragile, feminine figure shedding skin through pain, love, and spiritual resistance.

“The snake which cannot shed its skin must perish.” — Friedrich Nietzsche
