The Bond is a direct and straightforward examination of the relationship between one father and his Male to Female trans daughter … Speaking candidly and openly, the interviewed father touches on such topics as grief, surprise, and continued love for his child. The video itself manages to avoid a melodramatic treatment, and instead presents parental love in a respectful and factual manner. This is not to say that, even in this short video, there aren't moments of very real emotion, there are. But these are portrayed with a simple authenticity that hits home. Ultimately, The Bond leaves the viewer with a sense of gratitude: gratitude for the strength of parental bonds and a broader gratitude for human kind’s ability to adapt love to circumstances.
