Synopsis
For her Gender Studies series, Bettina photographed the “third sex”, these men and women who live between the masculine and the feminine, refusing to choose. Through the subtle sound work of Frédéric Sanchez, this film gives them a voice as the camera travels over their body, close up, far out, scrambling all the codes.
What you will find in this film
