Description: Jana is a Mapuche, one of those 'people of the earth' who's been transformed overnight into outlaws. Jana, talented and beautiful, but deeply scarred by a traumatic childhood, is a sculptor. Her only friend is Paula/ Miguel, a transvestite. When the body of a transvestite is found emasculated, Jana turns for help and protection to PI Ruben Calderon. He is a grizzled investigator working for the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, searching for the children of the desaparecidos. Together, Jana and Ruben will plunge into the corrupt heart of the Argentinian political system.
