However, he is not happy since he has not dared to confess something that only his mother knows for years: he is a carrier of undetectable HIV.

| The years of bullying he suffered at school and high school, along with the lack of support at home, led Llorenç to make the decision to leave their hometown. Now, he returns to Calig with the intention of being able to openly express their non-binary identity, even though this may further jeopardise the relationship with their parents. They hopes that the queens will help them reconcile with both their past and the place where they grew up.

Overwhelmed by the feeling that no one truly recognises him, he seeks the help of the queens to free himself from the identity of "Candela" and begin to live authentically and respectfully in his environment. On stage, he will be accompanied by his mother, if she is willing to accept that she no longer has a daughter, and his great friend Angelita, who, despite having always been present in his life, would never imagine what he is about to reveal to her. |||

| José Antonio is gay and living with HIV, yet he has never been able to fully accept himself due to a lack of support both in his local community and at home. His family is present in his life, but his sexual orientation and medical condition are sensitive issues that no one dares to mention. In fact, his communication with his father and brother is practically non-existent. He feels alone and full of insecurities, unable to face the judgements and gossip of his neighbours. The only time he experiences happiness is when he performs as a drag queen in Valladolid. His wish is that the queens will help him re-establish his relationship with his family, regain his confidence and live in Campaspero with the freedom he longs for. In an unexpected twist, his brother Rubén will join him on stage, and he will also be accompanied by his cousin Alicia, a transgender woman who lives in the same town and enjoys the acceptance and freedom he seeks. |||
