In her desire and ambition to become a powerful glam rock star, Elda comes into conflict with her shy alter ego Diego, with whom she shares the same body. A pilgrimage to the altar of a trans woman, who was murdered and buried in the middle of a forest, awakens in Elda new ways of loving, growing and bonding, in connection with nature and beyond the limitations of binaries.
This Argentinian film has it all! A charismatic lead that defies binaries while working towards her dream of becoming a glam rock star, amazing kind found family, beautiful scenery and cinematography, and a movie band that we wish was real.
