Synopsis

Yermén works as a tarot reader, and films her neighbours and the stray dogs on VHS from her apartment on the outskirts of Santiago. She dreams of changing her gender and decides to try her luck on a TV show. Elements of raw reality and documentary alternate with a minimalist fictional plot, which is an opportunity to follow Yermén's transformation into the person she has always been.
