When drag queen Cy begins turning into a bird, getting help proves stranger than the transformation itself. Doctors dismiss her pain, while the best friend she adores insists there’s nothing wrong. As the feathers spread, Cy is running out of ways to ask nicely...

'Featherless' is a surreal comedy-musical about medical gaslighting and life with non-visible disabilities. It gives flamboyant form to the pain people refuse to acknowledge, and to the anger of being expected to suffer graciously. A defiant assertion of disabled self-worth, the film demands that we be heard, even when there is no reassuring story of recovery to tell.
