EAST COAST PREMIERE

On a hot summer day, Paloma decides to fulfill her most cherished dream: a traditional wedding in a church with her boyfriend Zé. She is a devoted mother, a hard-working farmhand and has been saving to afford the celebration. The priest’s refusal to marry her and Zé will force Paloma to confront the rural society. She suffers violence, betrayal, prejudice and injustice but nothing shakes the faith and determination of this transgender woman. Based on a true story, Paloma beautifully explores the contemporary subjectivity of Brazil's outback and instigates a reflection about the traps of romantic love.
