Synopsis
Xionel, who at first instance appears as an astonishingly beautiful Asian girl turns out to be a boy in the process of transsexual transformation preparing for a trip, an encounter with the man (s)he loves. The documentary is made in Vienna, the city which has contributed so much to our understanding of sexuality and which was also a place where the first transsexual operation was made. It provides a link to the unaesthetisised reality of the brave new world of multicultural and multisexual identity.
