Director Statement

This documentary was made to denounce how profoundly violent Mexico has been towards the gender-sex dissidents, but it is also a celebration of trans lives and a tribute to the nightlife of Mexico City in the 80s. As Yesica said: ”My time on show biz was wonderful because later i understood that sequins and beads are also revolutionary and an act of resistance”.
