Winner of the Special Jury Award for LGBT film at the 2010 Berlin International Film
Festival, OPEN presents a visually striking and emotionally moving portrayal of relationships
for a new millennium.
When the young hermaphrodite Cynthia meets Gen and Jay, a couple recovering from plastic
surgery, she learns of Pandrogony, in which two people merge their facial features
in order to reflect their evolution from separate identities into one unified entity.
Inspired by this, Cynthia abandons her husband and suburban life to embark on a road
trip with Gen through anachronistic America.
A young transman, Syd, meets a young punk, Nick, and after a sexual encounter they
find themselves falling in love. But are Syd and Nick ready to deal with the implications
and consequences of their unique romance?
OPEN’s cast of real hermaphroditic, pandrogynous, and transpeople bring authenticity
to this story of emerging possibilities for human connection.
