Rosa María is a transsexual woman and a father who completed her sexual reassignment surgery at the age of 59. Until then her behaviour had been that of a typical macho male. This documentary shows her “transition” or gradual empowerment as a woman, a process that holds a certain promise of fulfilment. Alongside her friend, Fina, also a transsexual woman over 60 years old, they walk this path of light and shadow in their struggle to conquer the desired status of being a woman, as well as a degree of recognition on the part of society.
