Una telenovela de guapas

2021 • Directed by

Armario Abierto

A collective that carries out community projects with LGBTI groups, a documentary filmmaker, theater actors and a group of trans sex workers (known as Las Guapas) come together to settle accounts with the injustices they live by creating a soap opera using friendship and fiction as a form resistance. Between rituals of love, slapping and revenge, this hybrid documentary shows that making community cinema is a valid bet to combat the fetishization of discourses about the struggles of LGBTI people in Colombia.
