CGiii Comment

An interesting idea...

A trans prostitute finds love where she least expected it...with a woman.

As a story, it needs more development - and, like many short film endings, it runs out of gas.


Watch...in Portuguese...

The(ir) Blurb...

A partir do encontro entre Leila e Michela, elas buscam na solidão uma da outra o desejo que surge de um sentimento inesperado.
