In Greek mythology Tiresia is at the same time woman and man. In this film Tiresia (Clara Choveaux) is a Brazilian transsexual who begins a life-changing transformation while being held captive by an obsessed man (Laurent Lucas).
Once blinded and left for dead by her disappointed admirer, Tiresia (Thiago Telès) is taken in by a rural family and cared for by a teenaged girl (Célia Catalifo). In physical limbo between man and woman, Tiresia realizes a gift for premonition. Village locals are amazed and moved, but the Church is sceptical and suspicious.
