A deeply melancholic, introspective portrait of a trans woman grappling with sacrifice, identity, and abandonment in post-war Frankfurt.

Elvira Weishaupt, once a burly working-class butcher, has made an enormous sacrifice for love. She has undergone a sex change for a romantic interest who has abandoned her, and she now must struggle to reconcile her past life with her present identity.
