Synopsis
Larissa, a trans woman, and Cláudio, a cis man, meet one night in the streets of Lisbon. Two people, two realities, who dance their differences until the morning light. In the challenge, in the surprise, in the astonishment and in the recognition. An empowering story, free of violence and full of light and hope for better days to come.
