Documentary that addresses the issue of transvestism and the difficulties involved in the struggle for a sexual identity under construction, not socially recognized. It interweaves the reflections of a young transvestite actress interviewed in depth with fragments of the successful play Carnestolendas, in which she fuses her emotions and those of the society that surrounds her with those expressed by the characters of Federico García Lorca.

Following the tragic death of her teenage son, Manuela travels from Madrid to Barcelona in an attempt to contact the long-estranged father the boy never knew. She reunites with an old friend, an outspoken transgender sex worker, and befriends a troubled actress and a pregnant, HIV-positive nun.

Lucía is an eight-year-old girl, who sometimes struggles as the world tries to catch up with the fact that she is trans. As the summer holidays pass, she explores her femininity alongside the women of her family who at the same time reflect on their own femininity.
