It often happens that after death trans women are deprived of their identity. Families are ashamed; their funerals take place in great secrecy and the male name given to them at birth is engraved on their gravestones. That's what happened to Antonia, too. Her friends gather to invoke her, in an attempt to give Antonia her denied femininity. The protagonists, stars of the boundless trans constellation, give life to this story by telling their own experiences, reliving the memories of their journeys.
