Diego Céspedes takes us to the heart of a village that seems timeless and out of place, much like the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The Chilean filmmaker immerses us in a community of trans women and transvestites who run a bar. They live isolated from the rest of the village, as if they were cursed, and for good reason: legend has it that if a (cis) man catches their eye, he will immediately be struck down by a mysterious and terrible disease.
