In a world where identity and self-expression take center stage, three narratives unfold. Lukas Avendaño, a Muxe artist, grapples with the disappearance of their brother in a sea of missing persons, while exploring the power of poetry and dance. In the second movie, a contemplative voice explores the enigmatic nature of desire and self-discovery. In a gritty gym, Lino and Loana navigate the blurred lines of their relationship and the pursuit of ultimate victory in the boxing ring.
Amidst ambiguity and connection, these movies converge inside a fluidity of identity, relationships, and artistic expression.

The cactus attracts me, but in a way that doesn’t satisfy me
That just make me understand in which directions the sources of desire open
The act that consumes itself yet to come
The search for the disintegration of something
