“Shocking and enraging, funny and surreal, rapturous and restorative, this is a film of startling intensity and sinuous mood shifts wrapped in a rock-solid coherence of vision.”~The Hollywood Reporter

Aroview: Another supremely elegant, substantive and compassionate character study from the director of GLORIA that this time focuses on a transgender woman in Santiago, Chile, who mourns the death of her lover and faces the subsequent hostility of his family.
