The Voice of Fear (Quando Você Vem Me Visitar)

Zainab is a successful girl who supports her family financially. But considers herself a boy in spirit, and has now decided to undergo gender transition. In addition to her family's opposition and society's view on this issue, she has more problems however. She played in the country's national volleyball team and is now in the Bartar league. If she goes through with the transition, she will be removed from professional volleyball forever due to her short stature compared to men, and not only will she lose her professional future, but also her livelihood and ability to take care of her family.

Unnamed

Jia-Lin is a transgender theatre actress who plays the role of a mother in a classic play. One day, her adopted son, Yu, was released from the Juvenile Detention House and settled down with Jia-Lin and Jia-Lin's mother, but the family issue arose between the three as the play continued playing on the stage.

My Dear

Arriving in Paris, I start learning two languages, French and drawing. In an artist's studio, I meet Linda Demorrir, a live model. Like me, she is transgender and an immigrant. As I draft her outlines, it is also myself that I learn to draw.

The Sketch (L'ESQUISSE)

A teenager, unwillingly cast as the male lead in a coming-of-age film, runs away in search of their real identity. In accepting help from those around them, they begin to discover who they are while charting a path forward.

Robin

Three trans women meet in a country house to plan a robbery. The trick of the heist is that, in order to create a false trail, they disguise themselves as men. While they share everyday life as a well-established team and lovers, they practice speaking in a deep voice, walking manly and behaving in a masculine manner. In this process, they reach their emotional and physical limits and repeatedly fail to imitate male connoted behavior.
