Ivy was meant to be a woman. She’s felt this way since she was a child and did everything in her power to become one but why is it so hard for Ivy to accept her transition, her new body? It’s a question she struggles with in this intimate film about her journey from being a man to a woman.


Since coming out at 24, Ivy was always sure about her decisions until a medical trip to Thailand triggered unexpected doubt. She talks about love, loss and reluctant acceptance in this beautiful narrative about her courageous and life-altering decisions to transform into who she wanted to be.
