Followed by a talk with Burcu Melekoğlu and Vuslat Karan

This powerful documentary follows Rüzgar Erkoçlar, a transgender man in Turkey, as he navigates both the intimate and public challenges of his gender affirmation. Once a well-known actress, Rüzgar’s coming out made headlines, leading to relentless scrutiny and sensationalism by the Turkish tabloid press. The film captures his struggle against societal prejudice and the emotional toll of seeking authenticity in a conservative society, offering a poignant look at the cost of living one’s truth in the face of overwhelming opposition.
