Girl-Boy follows four masculine-presenting women—Tinuke, Fred, Ella, and Lara—navigating life in Nigeria’s rigid gender system. Through moments of rejection, resilience, and self-affirmation, they confront social and familial pressures, police violence, and prejudice. Each woman redefines femininity on her own terms: embracing identity, independence, and strength in a society that demands conformity. A moving portrait of courage, defiance, and self-love.
