Synopsis
Fifteen drag artists face a still very conservative Peruvian society, in heels, with bright dresses and well-placed wigs. These multicolored, radiant and multi-talented characters defend the freedom to be oneself, express oneself and dress freely, while along the way they reveal family fissures, unconditional friendships and dreams in the making.Cast
