  1. Kenya. On the eve of the country’s first democratic elections, everyone is brewing with expression, even in the tiny, rural village, Luoland, with no elec - tricity or running water some 250 kilometers northwest of Nairobi. There, although lesbians ‘don’t exist’ in Kenya, two women fall in love: Bobby, a blond American development worker and Awino from the Luo tribe. To complicate matters, Awino’s father is also the Chief who enforces traditions and codes. So when famine strikes, the villagers blame the lesbians for the many, many deaths by starvation. To regain equilibrium, to make everything normal once again, Awino - butch bordering on trans - must be circumcised - by force - so s/he can act like a real woman rather than a woman who wants to be a man, and Bobby must leave. Will Awino and Bobby agree to separate for the good of their community? Or will the village itself change?
