Transition And Happiness. From being a macho to being an empowered woman
After building a life as a typical heterosexual man, married and with children, Rosa Maria today faces a crucial day in her transition process to become a woman. In search of her own ideal of identity, Rosa undergoes sexual reassignment surgery at almost sixty years of age.
This documentary, directed by Jonas Benarroch, follows Rosa in this transcendental process, together with her faithful friend Fina, also a transsexual woman. The struggle of both, like so many others, is to achieve recognition and a dignified position in today's society.
