Set against the backdrop of Ireland's historic Marriage Referendum, "OUT" explores the raw, emotional journey of 18-year-old Jack. It explores the conflicting currents of his identity and his struggles for self-acceptance when he moves to Dublin from rural Galway for college and finds himself unexpectedly sharing an apartment with an eclectic duo; a one-legged lesbian and a flamboyant drag queen. As Jack is thrust into the pulsating energy of Dublin's LGBTQ+ community, he grapples with his own sense of self and belonging, confronting the layers of his identity that he's subconsciously kept hidden. Caught between the freedom of the city and the conservative values of his rural upbringing, Jack must confront the looming shadow of his parents' involvement in the local 'Vote No' campaign. "OUT" is a poignant coming-of-age tale that explores the universal themes of self-discovery, the search for belonging, and the expectations of a world that often demands conformity where the truest form of courage is found in being unapologetically yourself.
