Ahmad, a trans researcher of Iranian origin, is working in an archive dedicated to the American LGBTQI+ movements and he comes across the story of Lou Sullivan, the first FtM gay activist. Thanks to this discovery/encounter, the place suddenly turns into a sauna, and the research he is carrying out into a sensual, hallucinatory journey, backwards in time, to bring his desire to light. A visionary documentary that assembles fiction, historical materials and candid interviews to explore and celebrate the homosexual experience of trans men. It won an award at the last Sundance Film Festival.
