Becoming Lucien

A VR self-portrait documentary by Lucien Pin, produced by Morituri

Synopsis

Currently in development, Becoming Lucien is a VR documentary self-portrait that invites the viewer into the gender transition journey of its author Lucien Pin, a 28-year old trans man.

Told as a conversation with the child that he used to be 20 years ago, the story begins at the pivotal moment when he chose his name, and continues along the path toward reconciliation with his true identity.
