CGiii Comment

In the small town of Santuario, Colombia, there is a transgender indigenous community. There, among its hundreds of members, Juliana and Berómica, have had to endure the exile of their community in the midst of a highly Catholic and prejudiced population. With the circumstances against them, they have managed to get ahead, but with scars, scars that reveal a deeper and unhealed wound in Colombian society.


En el pueblo cafetero de Santuario, Colombia, se ubica una comunidad indígena transgénero. Allí, entre sus cientos de miembros, Juliana y Berómica, han tenido que sobrellevar el destierro de su comunidad en medio de una población altamente católica y llena de prejuicios. Con las circunstancias en su contra, han logrado salir adelante, pero con cicatrices, cicatrices que revelan una herida más profunda y sin sanar en la sociedad colombiana.
