Content Warning:

There is a scene showing anti-LGBTQIA+ demonstrators, a description in a scene about anti-trans murders, there is not a lot of violence or slurs.

Description from Kanopy.com:

THROUGH BEAUTIFUL AND INTIMATE CAMERAWORK, filmmaker Yana Ugrekhelidze illuminates the shadows where many LGBTQ+ people must still reside within their home countries, centering on Alexander, a transgender man forced to live clandestinely in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. With no way to change the gender on his passport, Alexander is denied access to a proper job and even professional medical care. Despite such obstacles, his secret life is not one of solitude, living with his doting partner of nearly a decade, Marie—a cis woman—and surrounded by a warm, supportive family who have understood and protected him since childhood.”
