OPEN is a hallucinogenic journey through gender, identity, the body, love and how those can be shared by two people. The film consists of interlocking stories lines- the first about two transwomen in a pandrogynous relationship in which they simultaneously receive plastic surgery treatments to mirror each other's features to ideally form into a single person. The second story follows a transman and his new (cisgender) boyfriend as they run away from home and push against their own personal boundaries while dealing with his unexpected pregnancy.

This is a strange film, especially the first part· As I was starting to file "seen" films on my library shelves (ten days or so after I viewed Open), I paused and tried to recall "what's this film was about?" I deided to put it back on my "to view" pile· After watching it a second time, it's still weird· For some reason, which I can't identify, I erven felt physically ill·
The second segment, where a transman (FTM) becomes pregnant by his cis boyfriend partner, I remember quite clearly· A male giving birth was science fiction perhaps a s recently as ten years ago· This story was well done.
