    • Synopsis
    • SEX MY LIFE tells the story of seven Iranian transsexuals living in Tehran who live pieces of their own lives on the screen. Motamedian uses a mix of documentary and fiction to better explore their journey in finding their true identity and manages to avoid the obvious trap of sensational and victimization. What surprises is that getting the acceptance from families proves to be more a challenge than from the religious authorities for a sex change operation. Yet, the reason for such tolerance is that to change sex seems better than to live a homosexual life!
