SYNOPSIS

Using an intersectional approach, the film combines the questioning of the binary concept of gender with questions about the connection between the cis-hetero norm, colonialism and capitalism. Interviews with activists in Argentina and Switzerland are embedded in performances and actions of the art-activist project "die grosse um_ordnung" (the big re_ordering), which place the body as a political instrument at the center of the debate.
