So Filthy and So Happy

Directed by Edwin Oyarce

Hija de Perra was a transvestite artist who would become an icon of dissidence and a benchmark for Latin American underground, after she died in 2014. Multiple intimate and unpublished audiovisual footage, captured by her filmmaker best friend, reveal how this character came about. She experimented in music and film, wrote texts for the academy, and turned his cross-dressing into a political action, questioning gender and sexual identity.
