Nobody's perfect---but is anyone satisfied if they don't at least try? Through starvation, stamina, and sacrifice, high school sophomore Sophia builds an identity around her ability to achieve. She loses weight. She wins awards. She gets praise. What else can she do? This hypothetical question evolves into an obsession: what else can she do to prove her worth? She's willing to sacrifice anything to reach perfection---even if that means abandoning everything that makes her human. BEING is a story of girlhood, generational healing, and identity. Through vulnerable narratives, it explores what we're willing to sacrifice for success, even when success itself is dissatisfying. As Sophia searches for perfection, she embarks on a journey for something much harder to find: herself.
