The narrative of "Rosa Neon" is built between the documentary weaving of two audios, between one and the other, a delicate connection carefully crafted to tell us the story of a relationship falling apart. More than that, the short film plunges into the daily life of a couple to tell the story behind the non-history of a body full of silences: she is a transvestite; he is a cis: there is a concrete wall between them where it is impossible to see beyond. And this Thing that separates the bodies; this Thing for which the character asks help - for this there is no name.
