Program Note
Olly, a gay disabled teenage boy, feels devastated and isolated when his two straight best friends, Luke and Nat, start dating each other. Coupled with the news that he has to have a hip operation that would force him to be hospitalized, he decides to go one step further and receive an experimental full body transplant. Electing to change into the body of a beautiful woman, Olly discovers power & freedom he had never experienced before, and feels as if he might finally be able to achieve the thing he longs for most; requited love. Pulse is a deeply personal film, exploring thematic questions such as how much our bodies’ shape who we are, where is the line between compromising for love and changing yourself to be loved, and why we fall in love with the people we fall in love with. Pulse is a human drama that will touch your heart and remain in your memory for a long time, especially the powerful performance from Daniel Monks who also wrote and produced the film.
