Butterflies in Berlin - Diary of a Soul split in two

Running time: 24'52"

Alex moves to Berlin in 1933, during the Weimar Republic period. Looking for his place in the world and his sexual identity, he becomes the first out-of-surgery transsexual in History. That happens unfortunately during the National-Socialism rise, a social disruption that turned the capital of sexual freedom into the most repressed country of all times.
