Synopsis
The jaguar is the largest cat species in the Americas. The animal is also known for its beauty and, once found in the forest, one cannot help but be spellbound by the stunning magnificence of its skin. Jaguar-people are, like the cat in question, pure life force. In a film which celebrates the multiple possibilities of trans bodies, the act of narrating these lives is aligned with the pace of the jaguar in the middle of the woods: wild, free and opulent.
