Tigger

'Tiger' is about Taiga, a 35-year-old gay man in Tokyo who struggles to break through as a porn actor and masseuse. He returns home when his father falls ill. His sister threatens to expose him unless he renounces his right of inheritance. Their escalating conflict blurs the line between right and wrong in this raw exploration of identity, family and the sacrifices one must make to belong -- or to break free.
