This Short Film Will Make You Proud to Be Different

German filmmaker Kai Stänicke has produced a touching short film called Golden. The three-minute short follows a young man's life, from birth to adulthood — and all the ups and downs in between. The twist? He's different.

How does he interact with those who see him as "other"? Does he find other people like him?

Watch the touching video below, and prepare for some serious feels.

The film strikes a poignant balance between finding pride in our differences, and realizing that many of our experiences are shared, relatable — regardless of our differences.
