Synopsis
The lives of Katalina, Daniela, and Máximo undergo a profound transformation with the birth of Luciana, the first baby born into a trans family in Colombia. At first, her parents wonder whether it is appropriate for the baby to appear in the documentary, considering the potential problems it could cause for everyone. They fear it might be seen as a provocative image by conservative groups and defenders of “traditional” family values.
