100 minutes
Evelyn Wittmann is a living legend of cabaret and the transsexual boom of the 60s and 70s. She escaped the dictatorship in Chile and traveled the world as an artist, until she married and settled in Lyon, France. At 74, to ensure her old age, she returns to Chile with the aim of selling a large plot of land in Curacaví, acquired in the 90s with savings gathered during her life in Europe.
Her return does not go unnoticed: new trans generations feel attracted by her story and begin to visit her on her plot. Among the fragments of the past, an obsession emerges: to find Prontuario, a lost documentary from 1969, in which she claims to have been filmed during a police raid at the Boîte Bossanova, along with eleven other travestis who were part of Aunt Carlina's mythical Blue Ballet. By recovering that tape, Evelyn hopes not only to recover part of her history, but also to demand justice and reparations from the Chilean State.
