    • Synopsis
    • Jaison, a spokesman for the FARC guerrillas, has been imprisoned for 14 years in the Picota prison in Bogota. There, he falls in love with Laura, a transgender woman, an ex-prostitute, sentenced to 50 years, whom he decides to marry. This heretical union irritates Jaison\’s comrades who ask their commanders to exclude him from the guerrilla group. The leaders, who are negotiating the peace accords in Havana, decide to bless the union: \”It is time to make the revolution within the revolution\”.
      Thanks to this support, Jaison then becomes the leader of an unprecedented dialogue between FARC
      members and leaders of transgender associations in Bogota.
