A transgender waitress and nightclub singer struggles with discrimination after her boyfriend's sudden death.

Why watch this film?

Powerful movie that won the Best Foreign Film Oscar -- an unprecedented feat for Chile, the country of origin of the production, and for feature films starring transgender people. And it's no wonder. Daniela Vega's performance is intense, sad and full of layers. In addition, Sebastián Lelio's (from the American 'Disobedience') firm direction helps to intensify the story of Marina (Vega), a woman who goes through suspicions, discrimination and more injustices after her partner, an older man, dies suddenly. Although very sad and intense, it is a necessary film to understand and reflect on what much of the trans community still goes through today.
