Drawing inspiration from Kathy Acker's novel "P*ssy, King of the Pirates" and her cut-up methodology, this film embarks on an exploration of the interconnectedness between the bodily realm and the realm of celluloid. By employing surgical cuts as a metaphorical device, the film establishes a striking analogy between the incisions made on the skin and the sutures that bind the film through the art of editing. It presents a captivating portrait of three subjects whose dissident bodies transcend the confines of the gender binary. Using a Super 8 camera, the film captures details of the subjects, focusing on their skin, tattoos, and scars. These visible traces become a testament to their personal histories, akin to the tangible memories etched onto the surface of celluloid.
