Despite the incomprehension and rejection he suffers, Jesús Emilio "Chure" assumes his female personality under the name of Stefany, a transvestite who faces his homosexuality in a closed, homophobic and marginalized environment in the region of Chocó, Colombia. The documentary narrates Stefany's difficult story, in first person, in intimacy, with her faith, her pains and loneliness, in a macho environment in which she must overcome her condition of "black, poor, transvestite and ugly", and break with cultural prejudices. In the midst of praises, prayers, songs, music and alcohol, a space of encounter, socialization and recognition opens up in rites of death that for her, paradoxically, are of life.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
