El Remolino is a tiny community on the banks of the widest river in Mexico, it is home to unusual characters whose lives oscillate between an attachment to the paradise like surroundings and the uncertainty that looms year after year, when high floods cover their community.

Raphi, from France, fantasises about romances with princes, and about starting a traditional family. But in reality, things aren’t like that. She works in a call centre in Barcelona, struggles with at times embarrassing dates, and is diagnosed by her therapist as having gender dysphoria. During this confusing, yet valuable period, we follow this trans woman as she makes her transition, as well as in her everyday life. She talks candidly with colleagues, queer friends, and the men she meets through apps. In spite of all the advice she receives, it turns out that it is mostly time and experience that will help her embrace her place in this world.

She goes on the trip with five colleagues from I-Vaginarium, a group of transsexual women with whom she will share an intense week in unusual natural landscapes, exploring the ins and outs of their personalities, looking for answers about what unites them and learning to deal with their differences.
