In the middle of the Colombian coffee region, Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous transwomen from the Emberá tribes. The magical, the dreamlike and the performative coexist in their unique world - an aesthetic and spiritual universe in which documentary and fiction merge into a transcultural narrative. Enchanted by the beauty and power of their jais (spirits), Aribada decides to join Las Traviesas in creating their own trans*futurist community.
Reviews
Let's be realistic.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
