Djina Was Here is a decade-long portrait of one woman’s search to be seen and loved. Born in Curaçao, Djina spent years in the Netherlands as a pastor, hiding her true self. At fifty-one, she begins her gender transition, only to face chronic pain after a failed surgery. The film traces her path through love, family, and medical struggle. It stays close to the tensions that shape her experience without forcing them into simple conclusions. A careful, intimate, complex story on self-determination, resilience and vulnerability.
