The(ir) Blurb...

By a quiet gas station in rural Buenos Aires, a young kid, ERNESTO, confesses to his friend that he wants to be a dancer when he grows up. But in the patriarchal flatlands of Argentina, dancing isn't really an option. After being harassed by drivers by, Ernesto hides in the bathroom where he magically runs into a broken-hearted drag queen, RUBY. Charmingly mischievous, RUBY challenges him to a fateful dance off; one that will ultimately and forever encourage him to follow his dancing dreams.
