Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This surreal British black comedy tells the tale of poor Oliver Shadey, a mechanic who longs to become a woman but lacks the money for the operation.

He has the best of intentions when he hooks up with greedy Sir Cyril Landau with a way to earn some money and achieve his goal.
