Gender trouble
More than one in every 2000 people is born with some sort of intersex condition, which makes them neither male nor female but somewhere in between. In this provocative and deftly constructed film, four woman-identified intersex people tell their stories with elegance and candor. Set against beautiful backgrounds of transforming photographs and gardens, Melissa, Mary, Barba, and Sara speak openly about hermaphrodism, surgery, gender, and identity. This film questions how medicine and society have treated the intersexed, and breaks the codes of silence and secrecy that have surrounded their lives.
