Centering the story on racialized men, non-binary persons, and LGBTQ+ men in Toronto, documentarian Crisann Hessing gets up close and personal with her subjects as they explore their masculinity through the local Good Guise collective. For Good Guise, it’s all about healing by sparking healthy conversations about modern masculinity through art, connecting to one’s inner emotions and cultural history through a variety of artistic expressions whether that’s the breathwork involved in beatboxing or channelling frustration and anger into poetry or finding meditation to soothe years of shame and guilt over sexual identity. Above all, the men in the film eschew the perpetually damaging idea that men must face their struggles alone to conform to their masculine identity.
