___________________________________

a real boy is a dance film exploring the construction of identity and the yearning to reach one’s true, authentic self. The film explores a circular narrative, where often the path of tearing off one layer to find freedom and show our true self leads to a whole new journey of self-discovery. In trying to deconstruct ourselves to a clean slate, other things take form and we can find ourselves constricted by new circumstances, seemingly more glamorous, but just as oppressive.
