Us explores the shifting boundary between the self we recognize and the roles we inhabit. Shawn frequently misplaces his belongings and buys replacements, only to rediscover the originals. As identical objects accumulate around him, an ordinary habit becomes increasingly unsettling—until he encounters another version of himself.

Through repetition and doubling, the film gives physical form to the tensions of adapting to social expectations. Its male and female protagonists embody different expressions of one person, revealing how identity can be concealed, divided, and performed. Beneath these overlapping selves lies a question: when we move between the people we are expected to become, what happens to the person we understand ourselves to be?

Directed by Deyi (Evelyn) Zeng, in collaboration with Echo Ding (Berklee College of Music) and dancers from Boston Conservatory at Berklee.
