It’s Friday night in Asunción and the temperature is 40ºC. Víctor, a 17-year-old wheelbarrow-boy, dreams of becoming famous and covets a cell phone in Mercado 4. He is offered the chance to deliver seven boxes with unknown contents in exchange for $100. This sounds like an easy job but it soon gets complicated. Something in the boxes is highly coveted. Víctor and his persecutors find themselves caught up in a crime they know nothing about.

Liz Paola, a 50-year-old trans woman, is evicted and humiliated by her neighbors because of their prejudice. In her desperation, she calls for a miracle, and the Holy Transvestite appears—a sacred, dissident figure who transforms the community. The story denounces violence against trans identities while celebrating faith, dignity, and the possibility of collective redemption.
