International Feature Film Competition
Yoseli has a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back and she’s always dreamed of travelling. But her dreams evaporated when she was arrested for drug smuggling at the airport. She ended up in a women’s prison, just like Nacho, who, despite their gender identity, had to form their dream rock band behind bars. They’ve served their sentences and now, they are re-enacting real stories from their past together with a motley group of former fellow inmates. In the ruins of a former prison in Buenos Aires, they dance and sing with abandon, using fantasy to build a new future for themselves, free of fear or prejudice. In this energetic film, director Lola Arias redefines the musical genre, and her imaginative approach, detailed and refined scenography, and playful acting will enchant even the most hardened musical naysayers. The film’s success is demonstrated by its world premiere at Berlinale, the award for the Best Latino Queer Film at San Sebastián, and two awards from Thessaloniki.
In Brno, we will be screening the film at a secret location!
