I Am a Woman Now

I am a Woman Now
Michiel van Erp / Netherlands / 2011 / 86 min.

I Am A Woman Now (formerly Casablanca Revisited), the first generation of transsexuals who had their sex change in Casablanca back in the mid-1950s to 1960s take stock of their lives. Do these pioneers feel like total women and did it give them the fulfillment in life they expected ?

The women featured in the film 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.

A film about the pursuit of an almost unattainable dream, about the gap between its realisation and the hard reality that sometimes follows.
