Realizado por Carlos Alberto Riccelli, este filme centra-se no quotidiano de Gil, homem casado e muito só; de Lydia que brinca com o fogo; Josialdo, que nasceu para ser mulher, e de Mônica que só se quer dar bem na vida.

Transgendered people seek understanding in a confused society
In modern science, there are many debates over the direction various fields should take and what current theories are more promising and potentially fruitful. Since physics is the most fundamental and basic of all of the experimental sciences, and serves as the foundation for all of the others, it is interesting to observe the various debates and issues within the field and see how they may affect the other experimental sciences. One specific issue in physics that seems to be isolated to the field, and has persisted since the beginning of physics centuries ago, is the issue of gender biases. Physics has long been criticized for its lack of female participants, and recent research has shed some light on some of the causes and implications of the gender polarity within the physics community.
