Scopaesthesia

Scopaesthesia, a phenomenon in which human beings are able to extrasensorily detect if they are being stared at. This short film portrays the fear of being judged by otherness and how it’s very limiting and doesn't let you be yourself. Despite this, upon realizing that this fear really comes from low self-esteem, there is a way out and a path to freedom, which is achieved with self-acceptance.
