The original style of Creole music from the city of Lima. The traditional side of a genre that few people know about in the contemporary Peruvian music scene. Taking as a starting point the celebration of a birthday, the documentary shows interviews and musical performances of a group of veteran criollo singers -most of them over 70 years old- who incorporated music as an everyday thing. They show us how their life and their traditions mimic music, keeping it alive despite the disinterest and oblivion of the general public.

In the Peruvian Andes, two young boys are raised in isolation by their father. A series of unexpected events will radically transform the only reality they know and will bring Sabina, the older sister, to meet her past and her culture.

This documentary portrays the life stories of some of the finalist candidates for the oldest trans beauty contest in Latin America. In it we see how they transform, not only their bodies, but also their vision of themselves, involving learning processes, discovery, evaluation and (re) affirmation of their gender identities and the image they want to project through their bodies.
