Tonho,
a Brazilian, lives in New York on the poverty line deluding
his family back home that he leads a life of success.
Paco, a young gay woman, makes a living pretending to
be a boy and servicing the local toilets as a male prostitute.
She trusts her gut feelings and miraculously escapes
from high risk situations.
A
disused loft brings together these unlikely flat mates,
fuelling violent confrontations against a backdrop of
New York during the Twin Tower's terrorist attacks.
Fantastic
performance of Debora Falabella playing the part of
a man.
