Marieke and Sharan are intersex: born with a body that does not fit into the normative definitions of male or female. During their first meeting, they discover that the things that marked their childhoods have happened to them both: hospital visits, operations, and silence because what they are must remain a secret. The film follows Sharan and Marieke over the course of a year as they tell their secret to friends, comb through medical records, and discover things about themselves that they did not know before. Intimate images show the devastating effect of secrecy and medicalization on the lives of intersex people.
