Be like Others plot

Iran, in its strict Islamic culture and legislation, has little room for those who fall outside the boundaries of normal life. The group of people highlighted in this documentary live far beyond these borders. They are young Iranians who feel trapped in the wrong body and who undergo a sex operation. An attempt is made to provide insight into the problems surrounding this situation in a country where nuance regarding sexuality is hard to find.
