Thara

Conceived as a mixed media work, Thara combines the documentary gaze with the narrative through animation to achieve greater expressive freedom, only achievable through this technique. The short film openly shows the story of those transsexual people who are forced to work at night and reveals how difficult the lives of these women can be in Latin American countries.

Synopsis: The story centers on Thara, a Honduran transsexual woman who lives with her mother. Society does not allow her to be a woman and her only option is to live at night, as a sex worker. Even so, she is willing to risk everything and face the dangers of that kind of life, prejudice and violence in order to be herself.
