In an Argentina divided between a deep conservatism and an unprecedented momentum in feminism, the film delves into the political journey and intimate lives of Claudia and Violeta. Trans women who identify as transvestites, the fight they lead with their comrades against the patriarchal violence is visceral and embodied. Convinced of their roles at the center of an ongoing revolution that intersects with so many struggles, in defiance of the old world they redouble their energy to invent a new present, to love and stay alive.

This what makes it so appealing and ennobling. beautifully filmed, it captures the richness of political practices and existence of transgender experience on following the day-to-day life of an intelligent transgender political activist in Buenos Aires amidst the electoral campaing of Alberto Fernández. It's particular format, a film-documentary, allows the work to evoque the main great issues envolving the trans political practice, the conflitct with feminism, and the conflictual beauty of existence by the voices of the people themselves - that is, while, at the same time, mantainig an intimate, inherent and moving link to reality.
