After more than 20 years since the illuminating Gendernauts, German director Monika Treut, iconic spokesperson for the LGBTQ community, goes back to the Bay Area to follow the pioneers of the transgender movement of that time and discover how their lives and the world of activism have evolved as they still influence it greatly. It is the continuation of a story which makes it possible to draw conclusions as well as to build new structures of private semantics during an era which was heavily marked by Trump's administration.
