Coby

Man giving himself a haircut in front of a mirror, with a Marilyn Monroe picture in the background.

Suzanna, 23, disrupts the delicate ecosystem of her small Midwestern town when she comes out as transgender. Much to the community’s discomfort, Suzanna chooses to undergo a female-to-male transition and takes the name of Coby. In order to fully support and accommodate the needs of their son, Coby’s family must question their entire belief system. Coby’s half-brother, filmmaker Christian Sonderegger, documents Coby’s testosterone treatment as well as their family’s response. Sonderegger seeks to show the adjustment process faced by the entire family as Coby’s transition progresses.
