What makes a male, and what makes a female? Where do we draw the line, and does it really matter? Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African beauty queen, plunges into an identity crisis after finding out she is intersex. The only person who will help is Dimakatso Sebidi, a male-presenting intersex activist who turns out to be her complete opposite. The two parallel but divergent stories are an intimate look at the struggle of living in a male-female world, when you are born in-between.
Skovran allows the complexities of Khumalo and Sebidi’s lives to emerge organically, without pushing at story arcs or trying to find direct reflections. "Who I Am Not" is a celebration of sorts, although Sebidi experiences emotionally fraught moments, they are also seen to be in a loving relationship with their girlfriend and close with their family, while Khumalo’s general air of positivity leaps from the screen.
