How does love feel when you were born a man, but you’d rather be a woman? Or when a woman loves another woman who was born as a man? Young director Sayaka ONO observed various protagonists and couples for her latest documentary film project, creating a sensitive collection of intense and emotional portraits. Maybe, in the end, love is nothing but a weird disease anyway?
