Robert Eads sest transexuel. A 52 ans, il découvre qu'il est atteint d'un cancer de l'utérus. Ce documentaire retrace la dernière année de sa vie auprès de son amante Lola, elle-même transexuelle. Empreint d'humour, de romance et de tragédie, Southern Comfort est le premier film abordant dans son intimité l'amour entre deux personnes transgenres.
"Southern Comfort" is a documentary about the life of Robert Eads, a 52-year-old female to male transsexual who lives in the back hills of Georgia. He was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, then turned away by more than two dozen doctors who feared that taking on a transgendered patient might harm their practice. "Southern Comfort" follows the final year of Robert Eads' life. Beginning in spring, he falls deeply in love with Lola, a male-to-female.
The voices in "Southern Comfort" are not only rarely heard, but also are commonly thought to be non-existent. A rare blend of humor, romance, and tragedy, "Southern Comfort" is the first non-fiction film to intimately tell a trans-to-trans love story, set against a disturbing tale of gender bias as it unfolds before the camera.
