Kristian is a 30-year old transvestite who still lives at home with his mother Emma. She loves him the way he is and has fully accepted his life as a homosexual transvestite. They have a very close relationship and their apartment is the base where Kristian feels he can be himself completely. But one day Emma meets the charming but alcoholic Søren, who does not share Emma’s tolerance and in addition has violent tendencies. Kristian tries to warn Emma, but she ignores him as she is hopelessly in love with Søren. The situation becomes more and more intolerable for Kristian as he is slowly driven away from home. He seeks help from his close friend Rodney, who finally gets the opportunity to make a difference in his life.
