The camera leads the viewer through the door made from colourful stripes into the private world of Aldona Wiśniewska. From the medical point of view she is a woman in 76 per cent. She is waiting for the sex-change operation, but she is actively creating herself every day. The film shows everyday changes, rituals of femininity which are performed by Aldona. The presented work is a documentary about a simple life full of love and a colourful portrait of a tragic personality who has to struggle with her own fate in a provincial environment.
