CGiii Comment

By day, Norberto and Maria live an apparently normal life among friends and neighbours in their working-class neighbourhood. They’ve been married forever, but they’re hiding a secret. At night, as a way to bulk out their meagre pensions, Norberto dresses up as a woman and carries out small-scale robberies, while Maria waits for him in the getaway car. But, to everyone’s shock, the disguise that Norberto uses to hide his identity is, in fact, the means by which he is able to express his true self: Norberta.

After finally confessing to Maria, their long-lasting relationship encounters its biggest hurdle yet. At 65, Norberta’s world comes crashing down, as she fights to win the acceptance of others, and even, at times, of herself. Now, if Norberta is to fulfil her dream of having a very expensive sex-change operation, she will need all her friends to rally around her for the biggest heist of their lives: robbing the bingo hall.


Norberto lleva toda una vida con María. Viven en un barrio humilde y conocen a sus vecinos desde hace décadas, pero ambos tienen un secreto que pocos saben: de vez en cuando, atracan. Con ello cumplimentan su pensión y ayudan a algún que otro amigo. Pero Norberto necesita dar un giro para sentirse vivo, libre, para sentirse ELLA misma. Una confesión inesperada que pondrá en jaque toda su vida y la de su entorno.
