On a seemingly normal day for non-binary teenager, Alex, horror strikes when they experience a period at school. However, the responses and the attitudes, generated by the school and the students, aren't exactly the most helpful. A silly queer comedy short film with elements of social-commentary about ignorance, self-image, respect and how society discusses periods.
Directed by Lily Dain, Periodic Embarrassment leans on a strong ensemble — Tia McCarthy, Catherine Jenny, Katie Otten — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
