Cicada is a character study that explores themes of intimacy and desire in the context of a traumatic summer in New York City. It follows the story of a troubled man who navigates relationships, both romantic and platonic, while confronting the ghosts of his traumatic childhood. The film delves into the complexities of bisexuality, the acceptance of one's identity, and the challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals in a society that can be both accepting and hostile.
