Space is quite a lot of things

Curiosity about a world without gender sets a journey through a world of jellyfish and disco uncles, creating space for four trans people to share how they relate (or not) to their own gender, imagine visions of their own queer utopia, and reveal whether gender can be felt in your toes. In association with SAQMI (The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images).
