They used to feace each other in opposing teams on the football pitch. Noch they exchange intimate tenderness: Sami is a married family man and Maarit is an attractive woman. You wouldn't be able to tell that she had had a sex change. When the teacher and the unemployed social worker meet for the first time, Sami immediately pours his heart out, because he takes her for a psychologist. Maarit has a deep understanding for male needs, and her advice is quite helpful. So helpful that Sami falls in love with his “therapist”. The film gives a sensitive, convincing account of the emotional pitfalls in this unusual relationship and of the exceptional social pressure that trans-gender persons are exposed to in their professions and private lives.
