A portrait of a group of Mexican indigenous and mestizo homosexual men in the town of Juchitán, on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oxaaca, in southern Mexico, who vigourously defend their rights through transgressions, their ethnic identity as Zapotec Indians and the pleasure of living their lives intensely. Over the past three decades, the Muxes have constituted a community that enjoys sensuality, has fun and laughs at itself, but also dares to face the rejection of family members and puritan society.

Alejandra Islas graduated from the University Center for Cinematographic Studies of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and embarked on her filmmaking career, making dozens of documentaries and docudramas, mainly for cultural institutions. Her films have won numerous awards at festivals in Mexico and Europe.
