(2024, Colombia, Brazil, 87')

Georgina is an elderly transgender woman living on the outskirts of the Colombian department of La Guajira. Aware that she doesn’t have much time left, she decides to embark on a solitary journey through the desert to reunite with her siblings, who are also victims of the inhumane Colombian political and bureaucratic system. A true act of resistance and rebellion, driven by the hope of obtaining justice and the will to change her own existence.
