Ary Zara
Larissa, a trans woman, and Cláudio, a cis man, meet one night in the streets of Lisbon. Two people, two realities, who dance their differences away till morning light. In a challenge, in surprise, in awe, and in recognition. An empowering story, free from violence and filled with light and hope for the better days yet to come.
