a| Once a year, two plastic surgeons from Holland and Belgium fly to Havana to perform surgery on five Cuban transgender individuals. The surgeons are invited by Mariela Castro, the daughter of the president and head of the new state program for transgender care. Castro organizes this as a modern completion of the socialist revolution of 1959 because, in her words, it is all about emancipation and self-realization. 'Homophobia no, socialismo si!' is the official slogan. The state helps transgender people with therapy, hormones, surgery and the establishment of a new identity. Is Cuba becoming a safe haven for a community of trans people? For more than a year, Daniel Abma and Alex Bakker follow the three main characters Odette, Juani, and Malú to document how they deal with the reality of being transgender in Cuba.
