The programmer’s eye

Kalthoum and her girlfriends sip cocktails, look for sex on the internet, impatiently want love and, once again, suffer the transphobic insults of strangers. Today is going to be different though: the four friends are imagining their revenge. A sour film that offers to get revenge from the mundane intolerance in the best possible way: by laughing really hard!
