Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets the aesthetic and spiritual universe of Las Traviesas, a group of Embera indigenous trans women, in which the magical, the dreamlike and the performative coexist, and documentary and fiction merge into a transcultural narrative. Enchanted by the beauty and power of their spirits, Aribada joins Las Traviesas in creating their own trans*futurist community.
