In this longitudinal observation, director and social anthropologist Soňa G. Lutherová presents an intimate portrait of a family in which one of the parents is transitioning.
Marvin is a trans man living in Sweden, in a long-term marriage with his partner Ivan and their two children. His unexpected separation from his homeland for several months, as well as the slowing down of the entire process of physical and legal sex change during the covid-19 pandemic, intensifies the coexistence between partners and offspring, relationships with relatives and closest co-workers. The period of muted timelessness offers the film's protagonists a space to provide mutual support, acceptance of Marvin's gender identity, and a redefinition of roles within the family. Writing LGBTQ+ novels in which Marvin has created a male alter ego has played an essential role in his discovery and experience of his trans authenticity.
