    Synopsis

    Chao (25) was born in Japan as son of a Chinese woman and has lived in Switzerland since she was five. It was clear early on that she was not a "normal" boy, but actually a girl. Now Chao would like to take the step and have a surgery to become a biological woman. But Chao is not only worried about her gender reassignment. She is a talented illustrator and wants to enter art college in Zurich. In her pictures and drawings, Chao expresses her longings, memories and dreams.
