She works as a prostitute in Madrid and longs for a legitimate job. Whenever she builds up her savings, her housemate and best friend Tomás finds ways to spend, lose, or cost her those funds. She meets Raúl, whom she likes and who likes her; the trouble is he also likes that part of her she wants removed. If that's not enough, she also has narcolepsy, and when she conks out, she dreams of musical-theater numbers in which she's the singing and dancing star.

8/10

hope to see more of this kind

Beautiful masterpiece! I'm not into tranny stuff or what so ever, but i enjoyed this movie lots!!!!!!! Fun and musicals, perfect mixture! You go on, Spanish Cinema!!!!!! There's this boy with gender assignment issues and his entire adventure in seeking for the better. Perhaps it is the natural portrait of transgenderers in Europe, but its a complete hymn for the ones who are left behind in Latin America, or elsewhere. The soundtrack selection is totally accurate, and the cast drives you into a very profound study upon the emotions that a girl in the body of a male can cast away. Complete A+ in your movie collection. You can't ignore a film like 20cm if you are a fan of Spanish Cinema.
