SYNOPSIS
Zainab is a successful girl who supports her family financially, but considers herself a boy inside; therefore, she has decided to undergo sex reassignment surgery. In addition to her family's opposition and the society's inappropriate view of this matter, there is a bigger problem: Zeinab played in Iran's national volleyball team for a while and is now playing in the premium league. If she becomes a boy, she won't have a chance to play for men's professional teams due to her shorter height and less stamina compared to men. Zeinab not only will lose her professional future in Volleyball, but she puts herself and her family, who depend on her financially, in trouble.
