The film aims to give Trans’ people whose quest for gender identity is fettered by
established norms a chance to voice their tribulation. Their means of resistance consist
of searching for tools of knowledge, for corporealities, sexualities and alternative
identities to those of the conventional schemas. Far from the usual treatment of Trans
issues, this film, through the choice of its portrait subjects – all contemporary
actors and precursors of the Trans’and Intersex movement in France – addresses the
gender identity issues head-on by questioning our often unchallenged societal norms
and analyzing the nature of the oppression and repression faced by the Trans’ and
Intersex community.
