1

Framing the Narrative

Cryptessa the drag queen introduces the film as fiction, hinting it might be realer than it seems. She frames the story as an excerpt from a lost film Terror from Below by Betty Palmer, a trans woman from a small Australian town in the 1990s who later took her own life. This sets a meta context about memory, survival, and the danger of the unknown.
