Denn dieses Leben lebst nur Du

In conservative southwestern Germany, four people face a fundamental challenge in their quest to find a path to a happier life. In doing so, everything changes for them.

At one point in their lives, they knew with every fiber of their being that things could not continue as they were and that a major change in their lives was necessary. Otherwise, there would be no escape from their emotional chaos and no hope for a happier future.

Their names are Gabriel, Elisabeth, Melina and Dunja. Before, they had different names, different lives, and different genders.

They tried, unsuccessfully, to maintain conventional marriages or dreamed of becoming a deacon in the church. Now they work in a metal factory, paddle on Lake Constance, or lift weights in a fitness studio.

The world they live in is shaped by conservative values. People often meet them with reservation, incomprehension and aversion, but also with curiosity and kindness.

On their journey to their new selves, they finally find what they hoped for, what they fought for, and what they suffered for: moments of happiness, love and harmony with themselves.
