Rio De Janeiro. 2018. Dilma Rouseff has been impeached. Michel Temer is in power. The transgender community in Brazil lives precariously, as many are killed or imprisoned, holding out hope because their sister, Marielle Franco, is on Rio's city council. Meanwhile, in the streets, the transgender community is sheltered by Indianara, a fiery organizer for trans and sex worker rights and leader of Casa Nem, a queer sanctuary in Copacabana. As Indianara has to spread herself thin between political protest, fighting for Casa Nem's survival, and the small home she's built with her partner and their dogs, her nerves are already on edge. Will she be able to handle the immense challenges that the city has in store for her?
