Emma, aged 11, is engulfed with love in a perfectly normal family environment. Nevertheless, this feeling of normality is about to take a serious hit as her dad has come out as transgender. Everything is turned upside down, as father and daughter strive to hold on to their bond and adapt to this uncharted territory. A heartwarming tale of laughter and tears, based on autobiographical experience, about family love and the fragile nature of predestined roles.
