    • Synopsis
    • Renato and Iván are a couple of gay actors who barely survive doing theater, until Aníbal, a non-gay filmmaker, calls them to star in a movie about a play that portrays the lives of two delirious transvestites of the elderly.
      Ivan is excited, but Renato is someone who discriminates against transvestites. And the challenge of the film forces him to overcome his prejudices. Thus, as Renato confronts his internal demons, he discovers how to overcome his fears, redeem himself as an actor and find a new meaning in his life.
