This film screening is in attendance of main protagonist Agnes Geneva. Afterwards there will be a Q&A with Agnes Geneva and Anne Vernooij. Anne recently joined the TranScreen team. She studied history and has a love for discovering untold stories.
Agnes’ life revolves around playing badminton with her queer friends and working at a restaurant she set up inside her house with her best friend Rini. One day her younger brother Indra arrives, looking for his brother Hans. Agnes faces a dilemma, keep the lie or tell the truth about who she is. The truth could give her a chance to reconcile with her brother but it seems more difficult to reach than she thought. Agnes relives and re-acts her memories and life experiences in a mix between fiction, musical and real life.
