Elisa was born as a boy in 1949 and grew up in a very conservative post-war environment, in an era that would have a huge impact on Western social thinking in the future; unfortunately then without social support for people with gender dysphoria.
At the age of sixty-one, after almost half a century of secret transvestism, frustrations, emotional and relationship tensions, fears, and ever-dormant plans to leave everything behind, she discovers the true cause of her obsession via the internet. Never before could she find out the real reason and thought she was alone with her secret fantasy.
In three years' time (2010 - 2013) she waltzes through a period of "outing", psychological guidance with trial and error until the verdict hits her with a sledgehammer: she turns out to be transgender. With this realization she finally decides to spend the rest of her life as a woman, there is no choice left for her.
"When Asters Bloom" highlights her past, outing, and transition and is largely written as a chronicle.
