MOVIHERO RATINGWHAT IT'S ABOUT
A transgender woman from mainland China travels to Hong Kong with a single, urgent goal: to undergo gender-affirming surgery.

As the date of the operation approaches, her journey becomes less about the procedure itself than about the weight of expectation, fear, and self-recognition.
