“I am Joy” is an experimental film that takes us into the life of Joy Zhao, a young transgender woman. This film serves as an analogy for her gender and cultural identity conflict. The original poem explores themes of self-reliance through beauty and spirituality. The film tells the story of her struggles with physical appearance and her place in the world, where she once prayed to God every night to become who she believed she was. The film implies the idea that while physical beauty is desirable, it isn’t enough to bring true happiness and fulfillment.
