    • Synopsis
    • In the future, a group of five women and a drag queen is formed with one goal in common: a journey to destroy an evil, tyrannical leader who chases after everyone who doesn’t fit into the life conduct chosen by him.

      Throughout their path, amid confrontations with mercenaries that are supporters of the tyrant, escapes, and the nomad life of camping, Berta, Laila, Marlene, Delta, Gabe and Carla get to know each other eventually and create true bonds of friendship and companionship. Even if there are situations that cause suspicion sometimes, there’s something greater that makes them stick together, the desire for freedom.

      Once they reach the dictator’s quarter, Gabe tells the others that she knows people inside and that she’s going to manage to get them inside somehow. Despite a certain feeling of suspicion, they agree with her. After leaving, Gabe takes two days to come back and, when she does, she brings maps, clothes and information. With these things at hand, they prepare for the attack.

      When they try to get inside, Marlene and Berta are discovered. There is an exchange of fire and Marlene ends up dead. They face soldiers and employees inside the quarter until they reach the dictator’s office. Once inside, as she kills the dictator, Gabe reveals her true identity. She was the dictator’s daughter and seeked revenge.

      After the triumph, Gabe decides to stay and invites the other women to live there. Carla accepts the invitation, Delta thanks her but declines, saying she wants to live her freedom, Berta and Laila also leave, for there are other tyrants to confront.
