After the transition is before the transition – the documentary begins where others - dealing with trans*biographies - often end. It presents six very different protagonists. Katharina Lampert and Cordula Thym conduct profound and disarmingly honest interviews full of humour about the delicate balancing act and fault lines on which gender and identity emerge. Another important theme of the film is the examination of masculinities in the queer scene. "FTWTF is a space for non-binary identities and draws a realistic picture of today's gender transformations, which gets by without voyeuristic glances, tragedy and pathos, is politically analyzed and feministically informed."
