In Italy, where the conservative government seeks to imprison all transgender individuals as a threat to traditional family values, Lea (45), a transgender woman held in isolation in a remote mountain prison, falls into a deep depression.
As imaginary scenarios shape in her mind, the country erupts into social conflict and Lea will have the opportunity, mixing reality and imagination, to find a role that restores her will to live and fight for her freedom, and for the freedom of all transgender people.
