Delirio is an older Muxe dressmaker that has built a safe haven for others like her. Amaranta struggles to find peace while suffering at the hands of an alcoholic father. Mariano explores their identity despite messages from the church and their religious mother against it. Marta is given a job to plagiarize the Muxe's cultural designs for the European fashion company she works for. Everyone is lost in their own private drama when an earthquake suddenly tears the city apart. The film speaks out against the unethical practices of the textile industry and connects the violence experienced by the Muxe with the impacts of colonialism. Shot through a SUMIRE lens, the film displays a rich array of traditional Zapotec clothing in stunning detail.
