What's Left of Lia
16m · Documentary
Liav (24) decides to look back at the girl he once was. Seeking to understand the painful decision to stop his gender transition process while it was in full swing and return to being a man, he embarks on an intimate journey to reconnect with his previous, younger self. He pieces together the figure of Lia - a vibrant young woman who experienced a spiritual metamorphosis, but also a severe trauma that led her to abandon her identity. Between past and present, between Lia and Liav, questions of identity, masculinity and femininity surface, attempting to understand what remains when turning back the clock - and what cannot be reclaimed.
