Two crossdressers, Amapola and La Barroca, go on a search for their friend Lila Lamour who has vanished suddenly. They later find out that Lila was a brutal victim of transphobia, so they decide to visit the cemetery to pay her homage. It is in that pilgrimage trying to find her grave that they come to terms with their own differences and strengthen their convictions. What unites them is stronger than what divides them.

*This play contains discussion of sensitive topics, including a mention of transphobic attacks and sexual references
