TITE Film Festival: She’s The He

CLUB 18+109 min

Everyone in school thinks Alex and Ethan are gay. Desperate to lose his virginity before graduation, Alex comes up with a harebrained scheme to get them close to hot girls: by coming out as trans women.

But ‘pretending’ to be a girl makes Ethan realise… she really is trans. Now Alex’s plot threatens to mess up Ethan’s new life right as it’s starting, and the pair will have to overcome stupid lies, first loves, changing friendships and high school chaos to graduate in one piece.

A delightfully silly and totally trans new entry in the teen comedy genre, this balls to the wall comedy kicks off TITE 2026 with a burst of queer energy, creative passion, and hope for trans futures.

(Feature runtime: 81’)
