Fran, a woman who has chosen to live as a man, following the tradition of Albanian “Burrnesha.” To become a mother to her orphaned niece, Fran must make a difficult decision between preserving her status as a “man” or relinquishing it to reconnect with the maternal feelings she has long suppressed. When the time comes to move forward, her niece’s choice forces Fran to confront her deepest fears: to keep the child close or to give the young girl wings to fly.
