SYNOPSIS
Born as a hermaphrodite, Deniz was prisoned in a body he does not belong to as a result of a wrong decision of his father.
STORY
Hermaphrodite individuals suffer psychological and physical violence especially from their families and the society.
The pressure and the discriminative behaviors lead to consequences such as suicide and this still continues today.
Adding the option of “other” (!) to Women / Men classification is nothing but an illusion that discrimination is over. We hope that it will not take another 2000 years to understand this…
