Stories of young and slightly older people(18-35) discovering their sexuality which does not fit into binary categories-Hetero and homosexuality-but includes a variety of forms which they do not initially understand(especially the older ones). To this end, they go to a group class with sexologist Dr. Smith, where they take it in turns to talk about their difficulties in understanding their feelings, their stories of discovering them. Dr. Smith listens to them carefully, talks to them and gives them a “diagnosis”-which eventually helps them understand themselves and live happily and knowing who they are.
