I Am a Woman Now

I Αm a Woman Now portrays five elderly transsexual women who were all treated by the same “miracle doctor,” Georges Burou. As long as these patients paid, there were no pre-conditions, no questions asked at his clinic in Casablanca. Do these pioneers feel like 100% women and did their surgery give them the fulfillment in life they expected? I Αm a Woman Now is a film about the pursuit of an almost unattainable dream, about the gap between its realization and the hard reality that sometimes follows.
