Presentation

To watch director Didier Ruiz at work with his actors is to embark on a collective adventure no one leaves entirely unscathed. The goal for the future protagonists of the play, all transsexual: to tell their story in front of an audience. As rehearsals follow rehearsals, something starts to blossom. To film the way their words appear is a gift. A journey full of surprises in which questions of femininity, masculinity, norms, freedom, stereotypes, transgression, and sexuality challenge us and all our certainties.
