Three German trans people, decades apart in age, describe what it took to live as themselves. Sophie, 32, works as a discount-store cashier and began hormone therapy in her mid-20s before undergoing gender reassignment surgery at University Hospital Essen at 30, hoping the operation will let her set the word "transgender" aside. Luca, 16, knew in primary school that he was a boy, took hormone blockers to delay female puberty, and now applies testosterone gel daily; he talks about being accepted by his family but still facing put-downs from strangers. Nora, 69, has spent years campaigning publicly for trans rights and offers the long view on how little acceptance has actually changed. The film intercuts interviews with each subject's daily life and cites a statistic on the rise of gender reassignment procedures in Germany, using it to frame the personal stories against a wider social debate about recognition rather than arguing for any particular medical path.
