According to data collected in colonial chronicles from the 15th and 17th centuries, several American Indian peoples consider gender to be non-binary, male or female; on the contrary, diversity was the rule in Panama: the Guna people identified the Omeggids as belonging to a third gender, which leads to something beyond sexual orientation or eroticism. Nandin, Yineth, Rosario and Débora are some of the members of the Wigudun Galu group, whose name refers to an Omeggid entity from Guna mythology. They define themselves as a separate group, and their demands are specific to that group. They seek visibility, and their fight is arduous, as they are indigenous, they are trans and they are Omeggids. Broken down inside and outside your community.

Reinas es un retrato de los reinados en Panamá, un fenómeno social increíblemente extendido que está a salvo de cuestionamientos o críticas; aquí, cada año se coronan miles de reinas. Una gran parte de la población femenina sueña con llegar a tener una corona y desde niñas somos educadas en este sueño. El documental es un catálogo de reinas con una voz coral compuesta por los que participan de alguna manera en los reinados -aportando cantidades impresionantes de tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero para que puedan realizarse-. Juntas, estas voces van tejiendo una explicación colectiva al fenómeno desde dentro.
