My Body

1997

MY BODY takes a humorous yet poignant look at Charlie -- a neurotic, self-loathing young man. After years of denial, he dares to open himself up to his true sexual orientation. As a result, he falls victim to a new and rare disease called "Sexually Repressed Shedding Disorder," which leads to the strange duplication of his body. He discovers he only has 24 hours to "re-integrate" his new body back into his old in order to continue his safe, closeted existence. After much self-examination, he decides to face the world with dignity and a new awareness of self-respect.
