Berry Wilde (2024) poster

As the day of the family photo approaches, panic sets in because there's something the family doesn't know yet: Barbara is Berry and non-binary. What's more, the long hair that her parents always loved is now gone. The image of their daughter in a floral dress hasn't really been Berry for a long time, or perhaps never was. Except that one time a year, for the sake of Mom and Dad. The family gathering becomes a nightmare, and coming out feels like holding a sword of Damocles over Berry's head, with the implication of "always having to be different..." hanging over them. The film takes us on a journey of identity and embodiment, constantly torn between anxiety and finding a sense of belonging within the community. —Julia Sprenger
