A group of queer youth make their home in a small village on the shores of Mexico’s largest lake. Uriel, one of its members, decides to leave behind her female identity after joining a religious group. But their strong friendship has created a sense of belonging that unites them in a special way; together, they celebrate their youth and proclaim their freedom in a kind of living manifesto that flourishes in their sisterhood.
