Love story of the twenty-first century. Two social outcasts in far, far Indonesia find a way to love each other regardless of their backgrounds: Tira Yohanes Soepomo, a forty-eight-year-old transsexual who identified as female, and Dayang, a throw-away person, unemployed with no family. The two met while living on the streets of the Muslim city of Yogyakarta in central Java. They shared a life together in a basic six-square-metre squat that became the centre of their universe. Tira contracted HIV, the deadly virus that hides invisible in the blood, like her ineffable desires and emotions. Dayang loved Tira regardless of the virus; together they shared a lust for life and the courage to be themselves. The couple allowed Luca Desienna into their lives and trusted him to make this respectful and intimate portrait of their relationship. Desienna's photographs honestly penetrate into the moments of their wild, and sometimes raw, love-making. It is a passionate portrait of joy and pain, suffering, and ultimately Tira's death. As Tira says: 'Sometimes I look at myself and feel beautiful, but sometimes I ask God why He made me this way.' Michael Ackerman calls it 'a tender and wild love story', Lorenzo Castore describes it as 'a far away intimate universe, a kind of magic', and Anders Petersen praises it as 'a story full of vitamins and warm energy'.
