She had worn a mask called Bruce Cohen for years, fulfilling the duties of a son, a husband, and a father. But at forty, Katherine cannot help but to put an end to the charade. She is immediately faced with harassment on the job, estrangement from family and friends, and rejection from society. This intimate and sensitive portrait invites us to join Katherine before her operation in a Montreal clinic and then follow her through her recovery and discovery of a new life. Following Katherine's journey, we learn some extraordinary things about her and discover the tremendous obstacles confronting those who embark on a transsexual journey.
