Synopsis

Jacob is a transgender man from a small American town, fighting difficult decisions and prejudice. The film follows his transition and the impacts on his tight-knit family. Compelled by love, everyone is led to confront their biases and to question their own perspectives about life itself.

Our take

A delicate documentary portrait of a transgender man from a small Ohio town, Coby is a model of structural efficiency. Playing out through two contrapuntal timelines, Christian Sonderegger’s compassionate film is a personal journey through change and prejudice into the heart of the American family.
