desired! – film lust and queer

Curiosity about a world without gender leads from jellyfish to liberated dancing to disco music in your own room, to the question of whether gender can also be felt in your toes. It’s about a feeling of being at home in your own body beyond traditional gender markers. Four trans people report in an intimate and experimental way how they (don’t) feel their gender and imagine their own queer utopia.
