Sinopse
Paris. In a small alley next to the Place de Clichy, two shabby hotels like many others in this immigrant neighborhood stand in fornt of one other. Behind their anonymous façades, the lives of several Ecuadorian transsexuals are played out. All of them have fled poverty and homophobia in their country and now work as prostitues in the Bois de Boulogne. Among them, we meet 'Mujeron', the 'big women' in Spanish, who has chosen prostitution as a means to supprot his family back home. Then there is Romina, who seems to have made her dreams come true: a women's body, a housewife's routine, a small flat and some money. Two parrallel lives that seem poles apart but that will unite in a similar destiny.
