Kris, a 55-year old professor for pathology, has not lived out his clandestine transsexual proclivity except on sporadic occasions. Taking a sabbatical, he has been eagerly awaiting, he undergoes a routine medical check and is caught off guard by the devastating diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Kris decides to go on a journey to figure out whether or not he wants to live his remaining life as a woman and how people will react on his coming out. On his trip, he is surprised by controversial experiences—his perplexed brother, a surprisingly hostile student buddy, unexpected support of his trans identity by an escort girl who becomes a friend. Most of all, he is stunned by Chloé, formerly Leopold, who becomes his mentor and with whom he obsessively falls in love.

Y’s Revenge is a committed plea for diversity and demonstrates that one’s true self is not simply defined by one’s chromosomes.
