Synopsis: Seeking gender euphoria during sex, Attie (a trans man) and his partner Opal (a cis woman) purchase a strap-on. Unfortunately, they got the measurements wrong… After a comedic series of trial and error, Attie and Opal finally manage to successfully have sex. Tadpole explores themes of trans identity, and masculinity through a trans lens as Attie struggles with “manhood” and what that means to both him and Opal. Tadpole also explores queer sex and intimacy, and how awkward and hilarious it can be.
