Growing Secrets

Set in a suburban town shadowed by secrets and societal norms, "Growing  Secrets" follows Nokio, a 20-year-old man who grapples with a bizarre  condition where telling lies causes his nose to painfully elongate. His  attempts to live a normal life are  disrupted by societal pressures and a strained relationship with his  stern but loving father, Joseph. Desperate for normalcy, Nokio searches  for a medical solution, only to face the risks and costs tied to the  treatment. At the same time, he navigates his  true feelings in a friendship with Romeo, a bond challenged by Nokio's  fear of being misunderstood. As he attempts to balance these pressures, a  devastating event thrusts Nokio and Joseph into a new understanding,  filled with pain but also a glimmer of acceptance  and love. Ultimately, the film explores the allegorical power of lies  and the courage needed to reveal one's true self.
