A film by Enrico Masi
A dark and mythological fable about a transgender person’s life in the urban underground where she has to constantly change shape to survive. A portrait of European boundaries: While food and goods are able to travel across all frontiers, there are severe restrictions for human beings. Pepsi plays, in this documentary, the role of a 21st Century transgender version of Joan d’Arc, putting her journey on a different scale, even beyond survival: standing for human rights, request and asylum of the most marginalized communities.
