Filo Sottile, writer and performer, using references to mythological creatures, literary characters, pop culture and mixing their stories with real experiences, tells the life of transgender people, and their constantly being subjected to the judgment of people, society, the boundaries imposed by psychological and medical paths during gender affirmations.
