Goca is a transvestite in Belgrade, the capital city of a country where organizing or participating in a gay pride parade is forbidden. She is raising a daughter who is actually her niece. Although her very young boyfriend doesnt respect her, Goca still loves him and manages to retain her sunny, open-minded nature. She risks her life to earn money for the family. On her thirty-ninth birthday she decides to celebrate her coming-out on stage in front of a live audience. And so she tells them the story of her life: “When I was a boy, I was a girl." The text in this cabaret was written by Goca herself, and playwright Olga Dimitrijević. Few months after film was made Goca started to work as an activist for transsexual issue in Serbia and has founded Association Hestija.
