Berlin-Budapest

Original title: Berlin-Budapest
Country: Germany

Bianka, a polyamorous trans woman, is navigating life in Berlin after gender reassignment surgery. Her sister Luca, who has been estranged since Bianka missed their mom's funeral in Hungary, arrives from Budapest to take care of her. Luca, due to an unexpected breakup, overstays at Bianka’s, who keeps her former life in Hungary secret from her friends and lovers. Luca notices Bianka acts differently with each of her lovers like a chameleon, questioning her authenticity. Bianka refuses to acknowledge the consequences of her decisions until Nora, her ex-wife, shares a secret accidentally that Bianka’s father is keeping from her. The sisters’ unresolved traumas escalate and Luca gives up on their relationship. All on her own, Bianka realizes she must lead open, honest relationships, embracing her identity, or she will end up alone.
