Costume Design
It often happens that at the moment of death, transgender individuals are shorn of their identity. Their families are ashamed, the funeral takes place in secret, and on the tomb appears the name the deceased had before their transition, in one stroke nullifying the entire life path they had chosen. The same thing happened to Antonia. Her girlfriends gather to honor her memory and give her back her identity denied. In telling her story, the film’s stars, all drawn from the variegated transgender world, interweave the narrative with tales of their own lives, experiences, and memories.
Cesira
Roma, 1943. Fulvio está cubierto de pelo de la cabeza a los pies; Matilde es tan eléctrica que enciende las bombillas metiéndoselas en la boca; Mario sufre de enanismo; Cencio escupe luciérnagas y cambia la forma de los insectos. E Israel es el dueño y director del circo que los acoge a todos, como una familia sui generis. Pero una explosión les roba su hogar-refugio y los arroja en medio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, siendo criaturas extraordinarias enfrentadas al horror.
