As Max explores his gender identity, the bullying he faces at school becomes increasingly severe. When Max’s mum hears of a controversial new medical procedure that could protect him, she’s faced with a near impossible personal and ethical dilemma.
Wrth i Max archwilio ei hunaniaeth rhywedd, mae’r bwlio y mae’n ei wynebu yn yr ysgol yn dod yn fwyfwy difrifol. Pan mae mam Max yn clywed am weithdrefn feddygol ddadleuol newydd a allai ei amddiffyn, mae hi’n wynebu cyfyng-gyngor personol a moesegol amhosib, bron.
