I don't read a lot about movies before I go see them, as sometimes even the plot synopsis gives too much away. This played to my favor in watch this Oscar nominated foreign movie from Chile, about a transgender woman trying to reclaims her inheritance when her boyfriend passes away from the family that never accepted her. It is the blackest of black comedies, interrupted by surreal dream like footage until one is left wondering which events are real and which are just symbols of oppression hurled at our main character. A great story and somewhat of a mystery at its core, the film is a joy to behold. Transgender actress Daniela Vega makes you feel her harsh reality in every scene.
