Svanur is a young trans person living in the Icelandic countryside. Searching for the freedom to be themself, Svanur travels to the city for a doctor's appointment to begin gender reassignment process. When the interview does not turn out the way Svanur had hoped for, a friend convinces them to take matters into their own hands. Although hesitant at first, Svanur decides it is time to return home, and stop hiding their true self. At the homecoming, Svanur’s grandmother is momentarily confused, but welcomes their identity with open arms.
