Edhi, born in 1987, works as a counselor for LGBTQIA teens in Seoul. In 2022, she decided to leave for Thailand and have genital surgery done there. She thought that once her physical self matched her identity as a woman, she would feel at peace with herself. But, instead, she finds herself constantly confronting one challenge after another. In most of Edhi's shoots, there's always Alice, a 49-year-old trans woman. Alice is a professional lighting director. She has been preoccupied with the thought that her body is not "feminine" enough. As she wrestles with this, she starts to feel the desire to express herself more with her body and even dreams of performing on stage one day.
