Closet Monster is a Canadian coming-of-age drama that follows Oscar, a creative and troubled teenager struggling to come to terms with his sexuality while dealing with a broken home and a traumatic childhood memory.

The film blends emotional realism with surreal imagery, offering a unique and powerful look at identity, repression, and self-acceptance.
