Synopsis
The Bugis, the largest ethnic group in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, recognise five genders. The fifth is the “bissu”, who transcend distinctions between male and female and hold a special place in society and religion. For Eka, one of the last remaining, the time has come for the trip they have been waiting for all their life: the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
