Overview
Director Shin Mokya’s film centers on Saekja, a transgender club manager in her late 60s, capturing the losses and disconnections she has experienced as a lifelong outsider. This poignant narrative is juxtaposed with images from the funeral of the late Byun Hui-su, a transgender soldier who, after undergoing gender reassignment surgery, was forcibly discharged and later took her own life. It highlights discrimination against LGBTQ+ and marginalized people through the ages.
