The film centers on the lived experience of Leo Baker, a non-binary individual. It explores their journey of self-discovery and the navigation of gender identity within professional skateboarding.

The narrative disrupts traditional gender hierarchies by bypassing binary archetypes. Baker’s agency in defining their own identity challenges the conventional gendered expectations of extreme sports subcultures.

As a person of color, Baker’s positionality explores how racial identity intersects with gender. The film provides high narrative agency to a person of color in a white-dominated space.

The documentary highlights the friction between individual identity and institutional norms. It frames the struggle for authenticity against systemic pressures and traditional societal structures.

The film focuses on the physical rigors of skateboarding but lacks specific portrayal of neurodivergence or physical disabilities as central themes.
