A non-binary parent struggles against prejudice while they fight for the custody of their own daughter. "I am a mum. I am a dad. I am whatever else is in between."
Being a parent is hard enough. All Ellis wants is to keep their 4-year-old daughter Becky safe and happy, while bringing her up as their most authentic self. That's not easy task when you're non-binary.
But as Ellis strives to create the future queer utopia to raise their daughter in, the tides begin to turn against them.
Suddenly they are no longer welcome at the local mother's group, their neighbours spy with a watchful eye, all while discriminatory laws are passed. Ellis soon finds themselves at the centre of a witch-hunt which culminates in a fight for the custody of their own daughter.
A queer parable for our times, Dad explores the grey areas of genderqueer parenting and rails against the increased government sanctioned transphobia we see today.
