Synopsis
Kha is a Mediterranean transvestite living in the Raval in Barcelona who fuses stage and neighbourhood, determined to detonate the structural violence she constantly has to live with. Sensitive, unrelenting transvestite cinema that seeks to twist the audiovisual apparatus to explore street violence from its own perspective, ready to stretch the boundaries between fiction and social order. A defiant, impertinent, brazen game that turns the struggle against sexual violence into an artistic process to keep on living and desiring.
