This is Katharine (Hvem er Katharina)
At a young age, Katharine starts thinking that she might be gay. To find her sexual identity, she turns to movies and tv, and from the representations she creates an image of how she should be.

Through an all-knowing voice over  we hear her story, her thoughts, and feelings, and we take part in her journey to find and to free herself.
