Playback, ensayo de una despedida | Playback

In Córdoba, far away from Argentina's capital city, the end of a military regime promises a spring that doesn't last long. "La Delpi" is the only survivor from a group of transgender women and drag queens, who began to die of AIDS in the late 80's. In a catholic and conservative city, the Kalas Group made their weapons and trenches out of improvised dresses and playbacks. Today the images of a unique and unknown footage are not only a farewell letter, but also a friendship manifesto.

Dir. Agustina Comedi | Prod. Magalí Merida
