Young trans women turn the streets of Paris into their cabaret. Their dreams are quickly caught up by reality.

The “Journal Annales” consists of almost 2.000 hours of video footage collected by filmmaker Lionel Soukaz since 1991. For “Carottage”, the idea was to take a random sample from this vast volume, like a geological core sample. The result is a condensed history of political struggles and radical cultural experimentation spanning two decades.
