A documental animated short about the case of the transsexual Gisberta, violently spanked, stoned and raped during 3 days by a group of teenagers in Porto, Portugal, in 2006. With the testimonials of friends, as well as unpublished interviews with two of the involved in the case, the short film focuses on concepts such as violence, self-consciousness, morality and identity, thus confronting different dimensions of the human condition and diversity.
