    • Synopsis
    • Malva lives in a nursing home in the province of Buenos Aires and has the ailments of old age that begin to bother her. She keeps her house in Villa Urquiza, where she goes on weekends, and where she has proof of her life, like crossing the border from Chile to Argentina on foot, leaving her roots behind, creating other worlds. Who is that grandmother: a cook, a writer, a costumer? Malva was 95 years old. She was a transvestite who outlived three times over the average life expectancy of a Trans person. Almost a century in the life of someone different in a time when differences were an abyss of marginality... Perhaps a Minotaur inside a Pandora’s Box. Malva died a week before we started shooting the film we had dreamt about. But, she told us everything about her life during a year and a half. Together with Marlene Wayar, a Trans referent, we tried to unveil the mystery, analyzing her avant-garde militant activity and the impact she made in our lives.
