Homebodies

The series follows Darcy, who when forced home to look after his estranged mother, discovers that she has an unexpected housemate: the teenage ghost of his pre-transition self.

Our take

From the producers of Latecomers, a standout success of the festival’s 2023 edition, Homebodies uses the supernatural to explore the fractured relationship between a mother and her son, who has distanced himself following his gender transition. Surprising, funny, and deeply moving, this high-concept series brings to life characters who are haunted, both literally and figuratively, as they tenderly confront the ghosts of who they used to be.
