CGiii Comment

On the day she celebrates one year since earning the right to use her chosen name, Rita becomes the target of a cruel act of transphobia after leaving the bathroom of a bar. Chased and assaulted in the middle of the street, she is rescued and led to a healing ritual by a spiritual guide. A transcendent moment, where the thin line between hatred and desire is revealed. And the inevitability of spiritual justice does not delay: setting the stage for her tormentors to meet the fate that awaits them.


No dia em que comemora com amigos em um bar o aniversário de 1 ano do seu nome social, Rita vai sofrer um episódio de transfobia ao sair do banheiro feminino do estabelecimento. Mais do que uma denúncia sobre o ódio motivado pelo preconceito e intolerância, o filme explora a conexão com uma espiritualidade ancestral, mostrando que o universo sempre busca restaurar o equilíbrio, trazendo uma forma de justiça através da lei do retorno.
