This is an autobiographical film told from the perspective of a mother who follows the gender transitioning process of her son. In beautiful photomontages, the film-maker reflects upon her expectations in life and asks her own mother about her struggles and ideals. In the course of the three years in which the film was made, opinions, circumstances and visions change in all three generations. Looking at her son, the film-maker questions herself and examines her fears and also her prejudices. Her son finds his own means of expression. Instead of working with a camera, he sketches and invents characters and stories. Their visual worlds differ greatly. The son’s perspectives also change frequently. He joins the queer movement and his mother accompanies him to demonstrations and is reminded of the times she has protested on the streets herself. Limiar is an intimate family portrait, an autobiographical documentary and a cross-generational story. An imbalance emerges between mother and son. She holds the camera and is the one who asks the questions. But she can also decide on treatment options and sign papers for her underage son.
