Original title: Entre il et ailes - Devenir femme à 60 ans
Synopsis:
In 2012, the world witnessed a powerful and poignant documentary, Entre il et ailes – Devenir femme à 60 ans (translated as In einem Jahr zu Christa – Frau werden mit sechzig). Directed by Laurence Périgaud, the film followed the life of Christa Muth, a distinguished professor of management, systems scientist, and transgender activist, as she embarked on a deeply personal and transformative journey to embrace her true identity as a woman. Muth’s story is not just a tale of gender transition; it is a journey of profound self-discovery, courage, and societal reflection that transcends the boundaries of personal experience to become a universal narrative about human rights, identity, and freedom.
Born in 1949 in Rheydt, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Christa Muth spent the majority of her life navigating the complexities of her gender identity in a world that expected her to fit neatly into the binary roles of “male” and “female.”
