The battlefield is gender identity. Monika Donner is a transsexual elite soldier, a poster figure for gender rights, and an author favoured by the extreme right. Quickly she, who used to be a he, becomes a solitary warrior caught between ideological fronts. The psychogram of an impossible person, carried out as an intensive cinematic collage, using actors to travel even deeper into Monika’s strange mind.
