Reborn Cocoon is a tender and visually poetic short film that explores the awakening of queer identity through the lens of desire, repression, and emotional freedom. Set in modern China, this intimate story follows two young women who find themselves drawn to each other in ways they can’t ignore — yet struggle to understand in a world that doesn’t always accept them.

Through a series of quiet, emotionally charged moments, the film captures the raw vulnerability of first love between women and the courage it takes to confront internalized shame. As they navigate their connection, their story becomes one of quiet rebellion — breaking free from societal expectations to embrace authenticity.

This LGBTQ-themed gem highlights the universal longing to be seen, loved, and accepted for who we truly are — making it a standout piece in the FirstGlance lineup.

🌈 An unforgettable lesbian coming-of-age tale from China, and a must-see for fans of queer cinema.
