Beneath the pageant smile, sexy outfits, and colorful exterior lies the web trapping a transwoman. The web symbolizes what they go through in the society, the physical and emotional abuse. The web symbolizes their love life. Most transsexuals experience heartaches of falling in love with men who would eventually leave them for a real female. One of the ladies fell in love with a real female. She tells her deepest regret. The ladies talk about taking hormones and other procedures they go through to look like a woman, including the difference about post-op trans vaginas and those of a real female’s. Some of the ladies were recent victims of hate crime. This documentary is their voice.

September 15- 21, 2014

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
