While a family prepare for their eldest daughter’s wedding, a young boy struggles to claim his true identity. Paul is the proud father of Charlie. When he discovers that Charlie is secretly struggling with gender dysphoria (born the wrong gender) he begins his own struggle to discover what being a father really means. Something Blue is a moving and uplifting film that makes its audience reconsider its attitudes to things outside the accepted norms and rejoices in the pain and beauty of a parent who loves its child unconditionally.
