Plot summary

Mikaela has undergone gender reassignment and is now a woman. One night at a bar she meets a guy who goes home with her. In Xxx, sexual objectification becomes a 'playing doctors' situation, each person wanting the other to take the first step towards sex. A film about our notions of masculinity and femininity, and how we come into existence through the way others see us.
