This documentary portrays three people who have changed their sex: Christine Jorgensen, the American soldier who came to Denmark, underwent an operation and left as a woman, thereby making international headlines; Hanne Rasmussen, a transvestite taxi-driver who changes his sex every morning; and Thomas Holck, once a woman, but now a bearded, pipe-smoking man. The case histories of these three people are framed by the historical facts of the persecution of Magnus Hirschfeld in Germany just before the First World War.
