Simone, the main character of this film, is 44 years old, Alexia 21. Both have feminine surnames tough they are born as boys. They call themselves since childhood women, transsexuals, even though they haven´t gone through surgery. They meet and pass when they prostitute themselves, one in the Bois de Boulogne, the other at a shielded bus stop. Simone ends her prostitution´s life, Alexia is just starting and tells of her eagerness to break out of it quickly and though... Prostitution is a painful, humiliating thing to them they haven´t any other way to survive. Their testimony is also an immense call of recognition and integration from their kin and from us all.
