The 13th Chamber: Daniela Špinar

The well-known theatre director and actor Daniela Špinar, formerly Daniel Špinar and former artistic director of the National Theatre drama company, is going through gender transition and speaks about it openly because she wants to change public awareness of what it means to be transgender. The documentary follows her journey from a childhood in a deeply religious family, through years of living as a man, to the gradual realisation of her female identity, hormone therapy and planned surgery — as well as the reactions of those around her and her inner struggle for harmony between body and mind.
