Synopsis
A rare view of what day-to-day life is like for the gay and drag community in modern Cuba. This award-winning documentary is the first since the 1959 revolution to examine the issues gays and transvestites face in the context of evolving attitudes towards homosexuality in Cuba, where people are judged first on what they achieve for their country. It is a highly unusual look at how a group of working class drag queens in a small town have become an integral part of their neighborhood.
