Boyle Heights, 1958. 12 year old Maura's femininity causes a clash between her mother Rose and her grandparents, Haim and Yetta. Across town, 12 year old Shelly quits the school play and stops eating but won't tell anyone why. Flash forward to 1966, where 21 year olds Mort and Shelly carry on a secret affair.
"Transparent" centers on Mort who gathers his three adult kids - Ali, Sarah and Joshua - for a talk about the future, but everyone is shocked to learn that it's not a financial inheritance at stake, but rather the complex legacy of a secret life as a transgender.
Everyone's relationship - to the world, themselves, and each other - through the lens of boundaries, intimacy, sex and gender - is about to change.
**NOTE: Even though Amazon Prime releases all episodes of Transparent on one day, they are portrayed on the Calendar as airing one episode a day, for ease of visualisation.
