- At thirty-nine, Sunny Dagenais discovers that he was born intersex. An intersex person has the biological attributes of both sexes or lacks some of the biological attributes considered necessary to be defined as one sex or another. Sunny breaks the silence for himself and for the thousands of children born intersex. In an intimate pilgrimage in search of his identity, Sunny allows us to discover an extraordinary community. A community that agrees to open up despite the rejection they face and who is fighting to end gender assignment surgeries on newborns. We discover that all over the world voices are being raised to stop these genital mutilations. This documentary has created a significant sense of belonging among participants from Germany, South Africa, China and Canada.
- The documentary takes us back to a time when Quebec had just emerged from the Quiet Revolution, with a thirst for other cultures. Four years after Expo 67 another step was taken as the result of a new social policy established by the Trudeau government: multiculturalism. Making Canada a country where all cultural communities and their values are protected and no one culture will be dominant was the goal of the Trudeau government. While visiting Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden, countries that adopted the Canadian model in the 1980s and 90s, the documentary provides an insight into how multiculturalism has evolved in Canada and around the world until now.
