Fighting Demons With Dragons

Most teenagers feel like outsiders, but in the case of these neuro-divergent high schoolers, becoming someone else helps them find themselves, friends, and a sense of belonging through cosplay. For two school years, the film follows three pupils studying at one of the most unique schools in the world; there, classes are conducted through role-playing games, and the pupils are taught to come to terms with the trauma and their fluid selves through masquerades and metamorphosis. The film pays tribute to individuality and the peculiar circumstances that we all encounter. It shows the students' highly emotional adventure through puberty, self-discovery, and maturity, accompanied by their perceptive remarks on concepts like normality and mental health.
