Women gather around a table and go through Versace sunglasses, swimsuits, and lace-up heels as they share stirring anecdotes and remember the late trans icon Claudia PĂa Baudracco, affectionately called “PĂa.” PĂa was a transformative force to be reckoned with who would constantly remind those in her community that they were deserving of dignity and of their dreams coming true. She fought on the frontlines to pass Argentina’s Gender Identity Law of 2012 and opposed anyone who said her community didn’t belong. Filmmaker Laura CasabĂ© redefines the concept of family through this raw and unflinching documentary that introduces us to a world of joyful resistance, from poignant instances of collective uprisings to the power of forging an archive. PĂa’s voice echoes through the images of her relentless activism throughout the years in this timely and electrifying celebration of Argentina’s LGBTQ history. (AT) Preceded by short “Chimera.”
