CAST
Alex Jürgen, Elisabeth Scharang
A young girl learns at the age of 12 that she's actually a boy. At 26, after years of self-destructive behaviour, she begins to ask herself why she, as a person of indeterminate gender, was forced into the body of a female. Alex Jürgen is an intersexual, a hermaphrodite, a person who fails to conform to the world's precise division into male and female.
