There is violence in the soul of a man that suppresses his femininity, a battle that leaves scars unseen but deeply felt.

“UNSEEN” is a short film directed by Ivan Boljat with the support of TresBien Agency. The film artfully tackles the taboo of the expression of male femininity.

Growing up in such a hyper-masculine environment was tough, especially during my childhood. I was bullied repeatedly for not fitting the stereotypical „man enough“ mold, and it left some deep scars. The pressure to conform led me to create a version of myself that I thought would be more acceptable to others, just so I could „fit in“. Every little detail, from how I talked to how I walked and even which sports I played, was carefully calculated. Now, as an adult, I’m facing the challenge of understanding who I really am beneath all those layers. This film represents the inner struggle and battles many of us face while trying to balance both masculine and feminine energies within ourselves. It’s a journey of self-discovery and acceptance that I hope resonates with others.
