La DelpiMarcos GarcíaMartín Shanly
Argentina, 2019, 14', HDD, color
Spanish with Turkish subtitles

Argentina in the late 1980s: Catholic, conservative and shaped by a military dictatorship. La Delpi, the sole survivor of a group of transgender women and drag queens, talks about how their shows in basement theatres galvanised the community and helped them in their struggle against AIDS and police violence. How they healed their wounds with lipstick, playback performances and improvised stage outfits. And how they invented happy endings for those who were to die. A farewell letter compiled from VHS memories.
