Synopsis:

In a Brazilian prison two prisoners share a cell. They are completely different people: one is a transgender dreamer Luis Molina convicted for immoral behavior (sex with a minor) and the other is leftist activist and political prisoner Valentin Arregui. Trying to pass the time, Luis tells a story woven from two films and his own life. At first Valentin is against one of the films as it is Nazi propaganda but Luis focuses on the romantic aspect of the story. While the guards torture Valentin and try to find out who his collaborators are, Luis and him slowly become closer.
