Liz Paola, a 50-year-old trans woman, is evicted and humiliated by her neighbors because of their prejudice. In her desperation, she calls for a miracle, and the Holy Transvestite appears—a sacred, dissident figure who transforms the community. The story denounces violence against trans identities while celebrating faith, dignity, and the possibility of collective redemption.

It’s Friday night in Asunción and the temperature is 40ºC. Víctor, a 17-year-old wheelbarrow-boy, dreams of becoming famous and covets a cell phone in Mercado 4. He is offered the chance to deliver seven boxes with unknown contents in exchange for $100. This sounds like an easy job but it soon gets complicated. Something in the boxes is highly coveted. Víctor and his persecutors find themselves caught up in a crime they know nothing about.
