Noor wants to be a man. He no longer belongs to the Khusras, the transgender community in Pakistan. And he has permanently turned the page regarding the love affair he had with one of them. In the future, he is doing a man’s job in a centre for fitting out lorries, and he knows what he wants: to find a woman who will take him as he is... “We went to Pakistan for the first time in 2002. Guillaume having lived in Turkey and myself being Turkish, we were expecting to find similarities between the two cultures, but we were nevertheless surprised by a certain number of other aspects of the country. In particular, its cinegeny and the stories that the local people told us... Following our meeting with a young man, we felt the need to question masculinity in this area, that is to say: beyond physical appearance and social codes, what does it mean, being a man?” Çağla Zencirci
