KELET radiates like a star who was born to walk the runway. She is a young Somali trans woman who dreams of becoming a Vogue model. Leaving her family in Manchester to return to her childhood home in Finland, she draws on the support of her friends in the Ballroom community to immerse herself in Helsinki’s glamour. Watch this shy and courageous young woman build her a new life for herself, face her fears and her past, and succeed in following her dreams. Kelet was filmed over two years between 2017 and 2019 and is the first Finnish film with a trans woman-of-colour protagonist. Kelet was premiered at DocPoint festival, Helsinki in January 2020.
