How does the theater of life go on when a renowned
actor and theater director in an Islamic country resolves
to acknowledge her transsexuality, regardless of any
social implications, and decides to undergo sex change
surgery to become a man? The film accompanies the
protagonist’s extraordinary life circumstances, his selfconfident
fight against discrimination as well as his
positive creative spirit and power to make a new life for
himself according to his own design.
