Film
Queenas
Camilla Overbye Roos, 2002
A group of transsexual Mexicans make their living as cabaret girls at the Plaza club in Los Angeles, where they are known as "Queenas". The club and the fascinating shows form the intimate visual framework of the film in which we meet Melissa, who left her family thirty years ago and has never seen them since. Via Melissa we meet a number of the girls and discover what induced them to leave their families and culture in search of their own identity.
