Lean (25) is a transfeminine person living in El Dorado, Canelones Uruguay. In the early stages of her transition, she struggles with the “masculine” perception of her body. Every day, she meticulously observes herself in the mirror and transforms herself with her own hands. Lean is also a philosophy teacher at Los Cerrillos High School. Within the institution, we see a certain rigidity and discretion in her, but also the bond she shares with her students, with whom she opens up about aspects of her personal life. She is surrounded by her chosen family, House of Infernal, where she can openly discuss issues related to trans life with complete naturalness. Together, they attend kikis, events within Uruguay’s ballroom scene, where they perform and express themselves through their bodies. In this way, our protagonist manages to escape the heteronormative everyday life by creating safe spaces and building a community of people who support one another.

Part comedy special, part oral history, part love letter to becoming your true self, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps chronicles two decades of Emmy-nominated creator/performer Scott Turner Schofield’s life as an out transgender man. With a knowing nod to the often-overlooked comedy of transitioning, the film reflects on the many layers of becoming oneself, exploring nuanced truths and breaking important new ground in trans representation. Twice censored (so far) and arriving amid a cultural and legislative reckoning, the film resists simplification in what it explores, how it tells the story, and the form it takes. Instead, Schofield brings vulnerability, wit, and presence to the details of his own life, connecting the personal to the universal and reminding audiences of all we share. Funny, profound, and fiercely honest, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps celebrates complexity and invites viewers to consider, more deeply and compassionately, what becoming—and being—a man can mean.
