TRANS-ACTION

POLISH TITLE: TRANS-AKCJA

The film is about Anna Grodzka, a transsexual, president of “Transfuzja Foudation”, and about one of the most important moments in her life: a legal gender change. Anna Grodzka was born in a male body, and tried to live like this for many years. A man, that was her until 2009, got married, became a father. Nevertheless he couldn’t fully enjoy life. As a mature man, father of a grown up son, he decided to start the long process of gender change. The crew accompanies Anna in important moments of her way to femininity – in the court, in clinic in Bangkok, where she was operated, but also in common moments: while talking with her son, shopping, at work. Anna is surrounded by people, who help her to survive this difficult process.
