This genre-smashing Argentinian documentary musical features a group of cisgender and transgender women who use music and dance to tell the stories of their incarceration, set in the now-disused prison.
Gentle or rough, blonde or shaved, cis or trans, long term inmates or those newly admitted: women re-enact their lives in a Buenos Aires prison, in trance and balance, voguing and singing. A hybrid musical and charming piece of collective empowerment.
