In the distant future, a strange phenomenon changed the balance of humanity forever: no girls were born anymore. Only boys remained. To preserve social order and the old traditions of society, the world created a system called The Balance Lottery. Every year, certain boys are randomly chosen to take the role of girls in public life, so that the number of “boys” and “girls” always appears equal.
Those selected must attend school, work, and social events in the identity assigned to them.
