TRAVIESAS

In the enchanting Andes Mountains of Colombia, Las Traviesas, a group of trans Indigenous women from the Embera people, weave between coffee plantations, otherworldly realms, and Embera cosmovision. Guided by the mystical water boa JEFÃ, who allows transit between different cosmological levels, Las Traviesas caen del tiempo—"fall from time"—and embark on a dance of resistance and emancipation.
