There are several topics we're going to tackle in the film, but basically we'll try to cover an ongoing emancipation process and self empowerment of the community. This means also creating an autonomy among government's and NGO's attempts to take over their grievances. On the other side there are some generational tensions inside the community itself, for example when speaking about gender reassignment surgery, which is becoming popular among the youngsters, but isn't accepted by elders due to their specific tradition and their Muslim faith. Elders use to claim that changing the body would be against Islam, but some young transgender people assert that this is the way they could even marry according Islamic rules, somehow overcoming the potential stigma of homosexuality and sodomy
