00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:48.040
It's great that the weather looks like...
- It will get better.

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.560
Last night it was awful.

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:53.600
I thought it would stay like that
for ten years, it was so cloudy.

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.320
It's sunny and incredibly hot.

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.640
For the beach, I like to tuck my balls back.
- Me too, girl. Otherwise I get stressed.

00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:56.960
Though no one cares.

00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.960
But still...
- I do it for my own sake.

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.920
I always have tape on me.
- Surgical tape.

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:11.480
Today I went nuts looking
for the tape. I couldn't find it.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.520
It's a really good one
from the international drugstore.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.440
It's even transparent.

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.200
It's really sticky. I have to pull it off.
If I'm not well shaved...

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400
You know!
- It's like waxing!

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.800
I like to watch them play soccer.

00:04:56.760 --> 00:04:59.960
Among the things I'd like the most,

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.920
and it's on the list of things
I have to do in life,

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:07.560
is to get my operation.

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:14.400
It is the most important goal
I have set for myself in life,

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.040
because all the rest,
I've got it done.

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.000
I can't feel good having male genitalia.

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:26.000
It's not what I want.
I never wanted it.

00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:29.160
When is it your time?

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.960
Well, I don't decide that.
The committee decides it.

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.400
It's not my decision.

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.680
If it was down to me:
"Now, my time has come!"

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:41.880
I'm ready now.

00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:49.960
This is my partner.

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:51.760
The one in the photo.

00:05:55.200 --> 00:05:56.600
Willy.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.120
Do you want some water?

00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:42.120
Do you want water?
Where were you going?

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.480
Grandma, look.

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.200
Your coffee.

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:02.520
And some milk.

00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:05.000
Let's pray, close your eyes.

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.480
We thank you Lord for being alive,
and for saving us.

00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:13.920
Forgive our sins and bless this food,
in the name of Jesus, amen.

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.440
I'm one of the best
tank operators in my country.

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.480
I'd say I'm the best in Cuba.

00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.960
For the army, I'm still a man.

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:39.720
On paper, my given name is still Osmany.

00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:46.240
I'm a heavy artillery
reserve staff sergeant.

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.560
If war broke out,

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.360
I'm the most qualified person

00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:55.160
to defend the Plaza de la Revolución.

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.160
If war broke out now,

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.280
imagine when they came to get me
and saw me like this.

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:06.560
They'd freak out.

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.960
They'd say, "What happened to you?"

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.400
"How did you get through the military
without us realizing?"

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.240
Well, I got through
by faking it very well.

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.960
Why didn't you drink the milk?

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.880
Eh?
- Why didn't you drink the milk?

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.200
Don't you like it?

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.720
You like coffee, don't you?

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:34.800
You do like coffee.
- Sure, I've drunk it all my life.

00:08:36.520 --> 00:08:39.480
"I've drunk it all my life."
If my mom heard you...

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:43.600
If my mom heard you...

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.280
That one was full too.

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.240
Driver!

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:11.520
Driver!

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.040
It's 2:00 p.m...

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.400
They're about to arrive.
Wait there.

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:36.440
I'll let you know.
- OK.

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.080
This is Dr Marlon,
you know him from last year.

00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:45.600
Another doctor has come already.

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.560
Hello, how are you?

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.680
- Very well, and you?
- Very well, welcome.

00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:51.080
Let's go ahead.

00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:53.480
Hello!
- Hi!

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:54.960
How are you?

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.280
How are you?
- Good, my friend.

00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.200
Hey!
- Stan!

00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:02.160
How are you?

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.960
Did you have a good trip?

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.520
Yes, but a bit long.

00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:14.400
I don't mind that.
- Well, after five hours...

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:18.320
I slept some hours and worked...
- Me too, but still...

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.320
Sounds full.
- It's pretty full.

00:10:28.520 --> 00:10:30.600
I think if we do one tomorrow

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:33.600
and Tuesday two,
Wednesday two, Thursday two,

00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:36.600
then we have seven.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.560
Ok, then: tomorrow one,

00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:42.960
Tuesday two,
Wednesday two, Thursday two...

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.440
- OK.
- Of which...

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.040
And Friday we keep...

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.160
And Friday, if they are any...

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.880
So we decide tomorrow,
when we see the cases,

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:56.040
which one we do on Tuesday.

00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:59.480
We do this one who is already
in hospital, and one more.

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.560
It could be, maybe, a vaginal stenosis.

00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:18.520
OK, Juani, how are you doing?

00:11:18.760 --> 00:11:21.360
I'm good.
- Are you happy with your penis?

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.200
Happy, yes.

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.480
But...

00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:28.120
It's not the same
as having an erection.

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.400
If you know what I mean.
- We will look at it.

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:33.960
In a moment.
- Later.

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.360
If it's possible.

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.480
And do you have sensation
in the penis, can you feel it?

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.680
And erotic sensations, too?
- That too.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.640
OK, that's good, then.

00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:49.680
And did you have a chance to use it?

00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:51.720
Just once.
- Just once.

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.600
OK. And it went well?
- Yes.

00:11:56.680 --> 00:12:01.240
Let's see if it's possible to operate.

00:12:01.400 --> 00:12:02.920
I hope it is!

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.200
So I won't have to use the gadget anymore!
- OK, let's see.

00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:14.920
Yes! It can be done!

00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.320
My God...

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:22.840
They said yes to you, then?

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.360
Next year?
- Yes.

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.480
They said, "See you in one year, Juani."

00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:29.280
I'm so happy for you.

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.440
This time, yes!

00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.360
See you next year.
- Bye.

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.520
I must have been 13 or 14 in this photo.

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.880
Which one are you?
- This one, in the middle.

00:12:57.280 --> 00:13:02.480
I was wearing women's trousers,
with the zip on the back.

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.200
Take a close look.

00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:12.960
Always trousers. I never wore a skirt.

00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:19.720
Look at this one.

00:13:22.280 --> 00:13:24.480
I was already getting treatment.

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:43.400
Hey! Come on up here!

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.520
Who has the flag now? Oh my God!

00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:07.920
Long live the Cuban Revolution!
Long live Comandante Che Guevara!

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:12.360
Without social revolution,
there's no sexual revolution!

00:15:12.520 --> 00:15:15.520
Take your positions
around the flag! Come on!

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.760
Take your positions here.

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.000
Where is Mariela going to be?

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.000
Long live Mariela Castro!

00:15:28.640 --> 00:15:30.920
Long live Fidel and Raúl!

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.480
Mariela! Mariela!

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.120
We have to fight for the LGBTI rights,
as part of the human rights,

00:15:57.280 --> 00:15:59.480
which the Cuban Revolution defends.

00:15:59.640 --> 00:16:04.880
The town of Manzanillo joins this struggle,
this ideological struggle,

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:10.440
a struggle for the change, in our culture,
for a cultural enrichment

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.600
and for a strengthening
of our revolutionary process...

00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:17.680
Look, it's the one with the hat.

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.520
No to homophobia,
yes to socialism!

00:16:25.880 --> 00:16:29.240
No to homophobia,
yes to socialism!

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:32.920
No to homophobia,
yes to socialism!

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.480
Now we're driving past the clinic.

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.200
The clinic where they do our surgeries.

00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:22.720
Please move over
so we can fit another chair.

00:17:23.040 --> 00:17:25.240
Come on, we have to move over

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.440
to put another chair in here.

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.280
Good afternoon.

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:41.120
Please pay attention

00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:43.800
and drop your make-up
and everything else.

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.240
We'll be leaving for Santiago very soon.

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.480
A big conference with 80 people,

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.320
trans people from all over the country.

00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:59.000
Today I've realized I can't take
so many people to Santiago.

00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.640
I can't take
such a large group to Santiago

00:18:01.800 --> 00:18:06.240
because so many people
will just eat too much, spend money,

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.720
and hardly contribute
anything to the cause.

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.440
We're going to have...

00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:21.320
a workshop specifically for people
who practice transactional sex

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.000
and their families.

00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:24.840
Who for?

00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:28.480
For people who practice transactional sex.

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:35.320
He doesn't know what transactional sex is.
-Yes, love, he knows it's prostitution.

00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:40.320
It's a transaction in exchange for sex.

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.440
It can be money, shoes, food,
accommodation, bread... anything.

00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:50.000
Is that clear?

00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:54.880
Pinto!

00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:02.160
Pinto, come here!

00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:06.800
Heli, baby!

00:19:07.560 --> 00:19:09.680
Come on! Let's go!

00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:22.440
They were far away.

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.320
They're all here now.

00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:32.280
Fernán!

00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:34.520
Ready!

00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:40.040
How's it going?
- Fine. Everything's fine.

00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:52.480
God told me to give you a job.

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.080
You know that people don't like it.

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.360
But the people don't know...
- Boy, they see you...

00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:02.640
Girl, they see you
and they start to wonder.

00:20:02.800 --> 00:20:04.360
Why? Do I look so bad?

00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:07.840
No, you look beautiful
but when you speak...

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.720
I have a problem with my voice.
- And they ask...

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.600
You know that in our country,
it's not common to see a girl, a woman,

00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:22.760
even more so in Havana, herding goats.

00:20:23.800 --> 00:20:26.160
I'm happy with him... with her.

00:20:26.840 --> 00:20:29.120
I'm happy to have her working here.

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:32.840
God will help us prosper.

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.680
As long as she believes in God
and accepts God, everything is fine.

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:40.280
God has a solution for everything.

00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:46.040
I'll go to sweep the pen.

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.400
Go with him.

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.040
I'll go ...
- Where's the broom? Is it there?

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.120
I have to accept
that people don't understand.

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:16.120
Sometimes it's not their fault.
They're just misinformed

00:21:16.280 --> 00:21:17.840
about this problem.

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.960
Fernando still doesn't understand.

00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:24.840
I explain the whole story,
but he still doesn't get it.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.640
It's a bit complicated.

00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:28.480
Even for me...

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.920
It took me 18 years... to understand.

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:38.440
I didn't understand. I thought
I was a special type of homosexual.

00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:40.000
That's what I thought.

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:45.200
And I didn't want to be seen like that.
Because I didn't feel like that.

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.520
But at one point,
someone informed me about it

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.960
and then I understood.

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:55.120
But without information
there's no way to understand.

00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:57.200
It's very difficult.

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.360
It's like...

00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:04.040
It's like having a pen full of poop
and you don't have a broom.

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.600
You have to sweep the floor
with your hands.

00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:09.600
You won't do it with your hands, right?
You need a broom.

00:22:09.800 --> 00:22:12.320
That happens to people without information.

00:22:12.520 --> 00:22:16.640
They leave it there and don't touch it.

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.720
Good morning.

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:09.880
It's 10:02 a.m.,
we're starting with the defense

00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:12.280
of the PhD

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:16.120
from Master Mariela Castro Espín.

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.440
The outcome of the study
presented today is entitled:

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:25.280
"Strategies for the integration
of transsexual people

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.960
in today's context of Cuban society."

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:33.040
Strictly speaking, the most important
recommendation of the thesis

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.240
is the proposed strategy.

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:37.760
In order to achieve its implementation,

00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.360
it requires an awareness-raising process,

00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:44.440
a dialogue,
and the creation of conditions.

00:23:44.600 --> 00:23:47.360
It is recommended without delay

00:23:47.520 --> 00:23:51.120
to the Political Bureau
of Cuba's Communist Party

00:23:51.280 --> 00:23:55.440
to assess the implementation
of the strategy

00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:59.760
especially within the labor,
legal, educational,

00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:03.920
cultural, health, media
and political frameworks.

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:07.560
I'm Cuba's first transsexual.

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:12.880
I had the privilege
to get to know Mariela in 2004,

00:24:13.040 --> 00:24:16.560
who talked with me,
because she wanted to meet me.

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.720
And she gave me hope,
because I've been struggling since 1970.

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.160
For me it's an honor to be here

00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:28.040
and to support her
in her studies, her work.

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:34.720
She deserves to be a doctor,

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.200
a scientist, and everything else.

00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:09.200
Since my body doesn't produce hormones,
I need to take them.

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:11.360
I use testosterone.

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:16.680
For years I couldn't take injections,
because there were none

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.760
in pharmacies or in hospitals.

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.000
There were no drugs in Cuba

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:31.680
due to the embargo.
There was a shortage of drugs.

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:38.760
We're starting the 57th year
of the Revolution.

00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:44.240
With a nation like ours, we'll reach
the 570th year of the Revolution.

00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:47.080
Fatherland or death!

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.240
We'll triumph!

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.480
Good evening and thank you,
Mariela Castro Espín,

00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:02.760
Member of Parliament and director
of CENESEX, for being here with us.

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.480
Let me hear what Mariela has to say.

00:26:08.760 --> 00:26:11.080
...above all, when abroad they say:

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.280
"Cuba is very sexist."

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:16.840
Sexism in Cuba is not very different
from other parts of the world.

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:20.240
Nevertheless, there is something
particular to Cuba.

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:25.400
From the outset, the Cuban Revolution
established important values,

00:26:25.560 --> 00:26:30.240
such as solidarity, the fight
for social justice and social equity...

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.680
It's the second time!

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.680
The third!

00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:38.720
It happened once before.
- It's the third time here.

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:41.880
Sucker!

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.040
That thing there.
- Wait.

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.520
Now, when...

00:26:56.840 --> 00:27:00.320
When the battery is empty,
how are we going to charge it?

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.040
We have to find
the cable in your closet...

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.440
In my closet...
- It has to be there.

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:08.240
It's not there.
- OK.

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.680
I left it here. I only took out the lamp.

00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:15.640
I lost it then.
- I'm not saying that!

00:27:15.800 --> 00:27:20.760
I'm not saying we lost it.
Just that it's in your closet.

00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:25.400
I looked 40 times!
- You've taken away things 40 times,

00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:27.240
I couldn't find them and then...

00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:29.960
You are the one who freaks out.
- Yes.

00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:32.520
You're the one flipping out.
- Yes, it's me.

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.560
I'm the grouchy old fart!

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:38.480
You're not grouchy.
I'm telling it how it is.

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.240
I'm telling you that I took it
and brought it back.

00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:46.680
You were waiting for the power
to return, right next to it.

00:27:46.840 --> 00:27:49.520
I was there, next to it.
- I'm sure you were.

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.840
I know.

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.000
If only I could live alone
and take care of my things!

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.280
I wouldn't have to look for yours.

00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.520
I would buy things for me
and only for me.

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.760
But, sadly, I have to live here.

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:24.200
MATTRESSES FOR SALE
REPAIRS ON REQUEST

00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:30.720
- How are you?
- All good.

00:28:47.040 --> 00:28:50.160
Why do you live with your brother?

00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:52.880
Because...

00:28:53.040 --> 00:28:55.200
He has nowhere to go.

00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:57.640
I can't kick him out.

00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:01.240
We don't earn enough.

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:05.320
So we share this place.

00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:11.360
I'm the owner,
so I don't have to pay anything.

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.120
Got it?

00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:39.920
Charming young lady
For you I'm dying

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:47.440
Young lady, if you kiss me
You will be my love

00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:51.840
Do you always listen
to your neighbor's music?

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:55.720
If they turn it on,
I have to listen to it.

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.840
What can I do?

00:29:59.840 --> 00:30:02.280
It's nice.

00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:01.320
It's a double album.

00:31:07.360 --> 00:31:09.520
Here it is!

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.520
This is Giselle.

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.800
You see?

00:31:14.560 --> 00:31:16.840
When I studied the music,

00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:19.240
I mean, the story

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.160
of Giselle,

00:31:21.320 --> 00:31:22.320
I liked it a lot.

00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:24.120
And so I named myself Giselle.

00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:28.000
And then Odette,
my middle name, after the ballet.

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:31.400
Both names are from ballets.
From two stories.

00:31:31.560 --> 00:31:33.920
This one, because she goes crazy,

00:31:34.080 --> 00:31:37.160
she wants to kill herself
because she's been deceived.

00:31:37.320 --> 00:31:41.120
The other one is trapped in a swan's body.

00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:44.360
Since I was also
trapped in a swan's body

00:31:44.520 --> 00:31:46.440
I could end up like her.

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:50.400
That's why I called myself Giselle Odette.

00:33:06.520 --> 00:33:10.400
I see how He gives me
opportunities to...

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:17.600
to rectify my life,
and I give Him thanks for His kindness...

00:33:17.760 --> 00:33:20.320
Then ask me the same question?

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.320
No, I'm giving you my opinion.
- And what about mine?

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:26.400
I'll ask you about yours now.

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:29.720
I thank God for giving me the chance

00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:33.160
to meet Him the moment
I was going to end my life.

00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:35.120
I thought: "There's no solution,

00:33:35.280 --> 00:33:38.600
I've tried everything,
I don't want to shame my family,

00:33:38.760 --> 00:33:41.640
that they think this and that..."
And well, I met God.

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.720
Grandma,

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.760
are you scared of my operation?

00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:48.360
What?
- My operation.

00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:50.400
Operation?
-My operation!

00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:53.360
Don't get surgery! You're not a woman.

00:33:53.840 --> 00:33:57.680
You want to be a woman but you're a man.
You're neither man nor woman.

00:33:57.840 --> 00:34:01.040
Take it easy
and may God help you.

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:06.040
I'll see if I take your advice.

00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:13.640
Don't think I'm not scared.

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.920
I count the days as if they were my last.

00:34:17.080 --> 00:34:18.440
I wonder if I'll make it.

00:34:18.600 --> 00:34:22.720
I must have faith to do it,
because it's not easy.

00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:25.800
It depends on what you know.

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:28.520
The more you know,
the more scared you get.

00:34:28.680 --> 00:34:30.640
Truth is...
- When they tell you...

00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.640
There's no solution.
- If there's no solution...

00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:35.960
God knows all things,

00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:38.960
because he knows everything
from beginning to end,

00:34:40.040 --> 00:34:42.440
everything that is about to happen.

00:35:21.240 --> 00:35:24.080
Wait to hear this.
Today I argued with Odette!

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:30.000
No, darling. She called me to ask me
why I didn't invite her to the conference.

00:35:34.080 --> 00:35:38.120
I said, "Odette, you're not in the group,
you don't take part in the activities."

00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:40.000
She said, "Why did you invite Juani?"

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:43.680
"You should have invited me too."
I said, "I don't have to invite you.

00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:45.080
Don't waste your money."

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:46.760
Where did she call you?
- On my cell phone.

00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:52.600
The question was why Juani and not her.

00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.680
Dance!

00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.000
Good morning everyone.

00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:22.000
First, I want to give my thanks
for her presence here

00:36:22.160 --> 00:36:25.880
at the National Conference
for Trans People, Family, and Partners

00:36:26.040 --> 00:36:27.640
to Mariela Castro Espín,

00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:31.960
director of the Cuban National Center
for Sex Education, CENESEX.

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:48.400
To live in chains is to live

00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:52.680
In dishonor and ignominy.

00:36:53.200 --> 00:36:57.160
Hear the clarion's call;

00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.600
Hasten, brave ones, to battle!

00:37:02.080 --> 00:37:08.200
This is the National Conference
for Trans People, Family, and Partners.

00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:12.080
Let's do it like this.
- What's the title? I don't remember.

00:37:12.240 --> 00:37:14.880
Let's give it a name.
There are so many things

00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:16.880
that we'll forget what we called it.

00:37:17.040 --> 00:37:21.680
The 8th National Conference of the Trans
People, Partners, and Families Network.

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:24.160
I can always ask.
- Please double-check.

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.880
Angela! How many people have had
operations? Including these last ones.

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:33.120
27.
- 27 had the operation! You see?

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:35.520
And how many are waiting?
- 19.

00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:37.320
OK, I'll tell you.

00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:44.400
So, at this point in time
27 people have had an operation.

00:37:44.560 --> 00:37:49.080
They've undergone plastic surgery

00:37:49.240 --> 00:37:51.600
with the support
of Belgian and Dutch doctors

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.960
who come every year to operate
and train our professionals

00:37:56.120 --> 00:38:00.400
and 19 transgender people
are on the waiting list.

00:38:01.120 --> 00:38:04.040
What's Cuba's future like?

00:38:04.200 --> 00:38:08.800
We'll continue experimenting
with our historic socio-economic project.

00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:11.280
Those who don't like it
should cover their ears.

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:14.920
There are people
who will listen to this

00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:18.080
and might be interested
and will want to come to meet us

00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:21.000
in their own skin and with their own eyes.

00:38:22.040 --> 00:38:28.200
Cubans want to keep experimenting with
socialism, we won't go back to capitalism.

00:38:54.160 --> 00:38:56.440
SOCIALISM OR DEATH

00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.120
CHANGES IN CUBA
WILL BRING MORE SOCIALISM

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:29.200
WITHOUT CONTROL
WE CAN'T BUILD SOCIALISM

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:26.040
I'll take rice, sugar...
- You already took coffee?

00:40:26.200 --> 00:40:29.520
I took it already.
- I'll give it to you but...

00:40:34.160 --> 00:40:36.560
Did the beans come?
- Yes.

00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:46.000
Give me some liquid detergent too.

00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.600
Add everything up.

00:41:01.080 --> 00:41:02.640
It's 34 pesos, right?

00:41:06.520 --> 00:41:08.560
Once a month mortadella.

00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:14.400
Once a month another kind of meat.
It depends.

00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:17.800
And me, I get fish once a month.

00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.280
Do you have enough money to live on?

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:35.000
You saw this morning
I was working on a mattress.

00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:37.400
That mattress costs 30 dollars.

00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:44.960
That's 750 Cuban pesos.

00:41:47.520 --> 00:41:51.240
You see? That's why we're able to buy stuff.

00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.840
He's working extra.

00:41:55.160 --> 00:41:57.720
Because you're retired.
- Yes.

00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:02.720
I have two salaries:
my pension and the money I earn.

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:05.520
They give me 15 dollars in the factory.

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:08.480
15 dollars a month.

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.720
When my brother makes a mattress,
they also pay him in dollars.

00:42:37.520 --> 00:42:41.520
Juani, are you completely happy
with your body now?

00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:44.040
Yes.

00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:54.440
But what you asked for in hospital,
that's also your wish?

00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.560
There's a Cuban saying that goes,
"If you want something to happen,

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:14.760
you have to keep quiet."

00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:16.760
You understand?

00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:20.960
Otherwise you waste your chances.

00:43:38.520 --> 00:43:40.600
Pancho is going to improve.

00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:43.200
They call it "Pancho".

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.480
You know, don't you?
- Pancho...

00:43:47.200 --> 00:43:52.160
Everyone calls it Pancho instead of penis.

00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.920
They're going to breathe life into Pancho.

00:43:56.080 --> 00:43:57.600
You understand?

00:44:02.520 --> 00:44:06.000
I've finished shaving.
Now I'm going to have a bath.

00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:27.880
Chucha! You're so cute!

00:44:28.640 --> 00:44:30.520
I got your grass ready.

00:44:34.720 --> 00:44:36.520
She's grown a lot.

00:44:37.240 --> 00:44:39.320
You like animals a lot?

00:44:40.120 --> 00:44:43.720
They're my best friends.
The people at CENESEX...

00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:45.200
They don't like me.

00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:47.880
The people I know with the same problem,

00:44:48.040 --> 00:44:50.760
they don't understand me,
they don't want to see me.

00:44:51.680 --> 00:44:55.080
They have to talk to me because
we all go to the same consultation.

00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:57.640
But we can't be friends

00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.000
because they don't want to,
we have nothing in common.

00:45:01.160 --> 00:45:03.400
But animals are my best friends.

00:45:03.560 --> 00:45:06.600
That's why I have lots of them:
a goat, a cat, another cat,

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.600
another tiny cat,
and another one there.

00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.680
If I could have more - a canary,

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:13.800
an owl, a fish bowl.

00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.600
I wouldn't mind. Or a snake.

00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:19.400
My mom doesn't want it.

00:45:19.560 --> 00:45:22.040
She'd have a heart attack
with so many animals.

00:45:22.200 --> 00:45:25.000
She's got enough with one child at home.

00:45:48.240 --> 00:45:51.080
Is Nenita there?
-Yes, it's me.

00:45:51.240 --> 00:45:54.360
Hey, bitch,
tell Alberto I'm passing by.

00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:56.480
Tell who?
- Alberto.

00:45:56.640 --> 00:45:58.520
And who is calling?
- Malú.

00:45:59.200 --> 00:46:02.640
Malú, where did you come from?
-From Havana.

00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:05.160
Are you here in Cienfuegos?
- Yes.

00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:08.600
Come over then!

00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:13.360
Tell him I'm calling in now.

00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:19.240
Look, my mother.

00:46:31.200 --> 00:46:33.000
This is my mom.

00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:38.120
When I was little, I did shows in every
front porch in the neighborhood.

00:46:39.080 --> 00:46:42.360
The neighbors let me dress up
like a girl in their houses

00:46:43.640 --> 00:46:45.680
because my dad wouldn't allow it at home.

00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:47.040
We did shows all over.

00:46:47.200 --> 00:46:50.440
In Mulata's house.
- Yes, Mulata passed away.

00:46:51.720 --> 00:46:54.520
We did shows all over the neighborhood.

00:46:54.680 --> 00:46:57.200
The late Mulata.
- I dressed up in their homes.

00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.200
Ah, Joel!

00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.120
Yolanda, it's not Joel, it's Malú!

00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:08.240
Malú? Forgive me, I forgot.

00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.520
And New Year's Eve?
- No, I might have my operation then.

00:47:24.680 --> 00:47:26.120
He's having an operation.

00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:30.000
If we had a party on New Year's Eve,
you wouldn't come?

00:47:30.160 --> 00:47:32.160
Not if I'm having an operation.

00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:34.680
Where?
- In Havana.

00:47:36.120 --> 00:47:38.080
It isn't sure yet.

00:47:38.240 --> 00:47:41.640
But if it's confirmed,
it will be from December 15. Imagine.

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:44.840
Your watch is so pretty, Joel.

00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:50.080
It's gorgeous.
- I hope it happens this year.

00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:52.960
Oh God, to get it over with.

00:47:53.120 --> 00:47:58.440
Look at that hair. It's my hair.
- I've already told him it's gorgeous.

00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.400
He's got my hair.
- I wash my hair nearly every day.

00:48:03.080 --> 00:48:08.440
With a good shampoo, otherwise
I get dandruff. I had to treat it.

00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:11.920
It could be the shampoo you're using.

00:48:12.080 --> 00:48:15.280
I use the best shampoo in the world:
Head & Shoulders.

00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.000
It's an anti-dandruff shampoo.
It cost me 20 dollars.

00:48:19.160 --> 00:48:22.520
It's super expensive,
I could buy 20 bottles of other shampoos.

00:48:22.680 --> 00:48:26.080
And it causes dandruff?
- That shampoo controls it a little.

00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:33.480
I told your mom, "When Joel comes
he'll bring me a pack of cigarettes."

00:48:33.640 --> 00:48:36.120
Not even a pack of cigarettes!

00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.680
Not now. They probably don't smoke
and the smoke will bother them.

00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.960
We live here and we smoke,
it's perfectly normal.

00:48:47.720 --> 00:48:51.320
I smoke one cigarette after another.
It's part of my daily life.

00:48:52.720 --> 00:48:54.760
This is how I live.

00:48:58.640 --> 00:49:00.440
Don't you want one?
- No.

00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.760
You spent your teenage years here.

00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.480
I had so much fun here
with the guys from Prisa.

00:49:17.640 --> 00:49:22.920
This was the best mall in Cienfuegos.
Everybody came here.

00:49:23.080 --> 00:49:26.080
They closed it down
when they had some trouble.

00:49:26.720 --> 00:49:29.240
There's no one here now.
They're at the fair.

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:30.600
No.

00:49:34.520 --> 00:49:39.560
When you left your home, Malú,

00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:43.280
you lived with Alberto?
- Yes.

00:49:44.200 --> 00:49:46.880
When she was eleven.
- At ten or eleven, I left.

00:49:47.080 --> 00:49:49.680
She was already a girl.
She had trouble with her dad.

00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:51.680
A lot of problems.

00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:57.520
Even the police were involved.
- He beat us up and all.

00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:00.320
Her dad didn't want her to be a girl.

00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:03.360
He would kick her out of the house.

00:50:03.520 --> 00:50:06.200
Malú would argue with her dad,
call the police,

00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:08.040
after two days it was settled,

00:50:08.240 --> 00:50:10.600
but on the third
she would wear women's clothes.

00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:13.880
She was always a woman in her mind.

00:50:14.720 --> 00:50:16.480
Always.

00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:20.120
It was a problem.

00:50:21.160 --> 00:50:23.560
It is a problem.
- No, now...

00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:25.800
Now I'm independent.
- Of course.

00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:28.480
It's not a problem for me anymore.

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:34.200
And because she's very daring and strong,
she kept on fighting and fighting

00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:36.120
and now...

00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:41.000
She has her own house,
her job, she's recognized...

00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:44.480
inside and outside the community.

00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:48.360
And she's very stubborn.

00:50:48.640 --> 00:50:50.360
And intelligent.

00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.560
No problems whatsoever.

00:51:30.240 --> 00:51:33.000
This one is from 1980. It's Russian.

00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:36.560
The parts are hard to get.

00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:39.600
I found out today
they kept this one in there.

00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:43.400
This one broke where the screw goes in.

00:51:43.560 --> 00:51:46.880
Can you see where it's broken?
And it rattles.

00:52:02.600 --> 00:52:04.360
How did you learn all this?

00:52:04.520 --> 00:52:07.480
On my own.
- By repairing them when they broke down.

00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:12.880
If I waited for someone to fix them,
months would go by.

00:52:13.080 --> 00:52:14.880
I had to learn.

00:52:15.200 --> 00:52:17.720
I need it, so I had to learn.

00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:42.800
There's a song that goes,
"I'm a crazy guy,

00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:45.200
a crazy guy with a motor bike
and a cell phone."

00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:48.280
A crazy guy with a motor bike.
- And a cell phone.

00:52:50.120 --> 00:52:51.920
And a partner?

00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:54.240
For me? Of course.

00:52:55.640 --> 00:52:57.800
Like any other human being, right?

00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:02.880
But I don't have
the right conditions to bring one.

00:53:03.040 --> 00:53:05.240
I should look for one with a house.

00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:08.480
But there aren't any.

00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:12.520
Is it possible...

00:53:12.680 --> 00:53:16.280
First I have to find one
who touches me here.

00:53:16.600 --> 00:53:19.680
Even if she doesn't have a house.
She has to touch me here.

00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:21.560
The rest can be arranged.

00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.280
I haven't found her yet.

00:53:25.080 --> 00:53:26.880
The person who...

00:53:30.120 --> 00:53:33.280
I've had no luck so far.
Nobody wants me.

00:54:02.560 --> 00:54:04.480
Albe!
- What?

00:54:04.640 --> 00:54:07.400
Have a look at the yucca.
- Give me a second.

00:54:12.080 --> 00:54:14.280
Where did you meet Willy?

00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:19.080
In the Parque de la Fraternidad.

00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:22.240
It will be five years ago very soon.

00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:24.800
Oops, I just cut myself.

00:54:31.600 --> 00:54:34.800
How do you want
your future to be with Willy?

00:54:37.080 --> 00:54:38.720
Let's see...

00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:40.720
To stay with him.

00:54:41.680 --> 00:54:44.360
Nothing lasts forever in this life.

00:54:44.520 --> 00:54:48.520
When you meet a partner, you dream
of spending your life with them.

00:54:48.680 --> 00:54:50.600
But nothing lasts forever.

00:54:51.640 --> 00:54:55.560
If he gets out and all is fine with us,
we'll stay together.

00:54:55.720 --> 00:54:59.280
Otherwise, I'll find someone else
and so will he. And so on.

00:55:11.560 --> 00:55:13.520
It's so hot, isn't it?
- Horrible.

00:55:13.680 --> 00:55:16.520
I wasn't expecting it.
- I dressed too warmly.

00:55:56.160 --> 00:55:57.960
Look at that face.

00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:02.080
Oh boy, you look terrible!

00:56:02.600 --> 00:56:04.200
Congratulations.
- Thank you.

00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:06.040
I shaved this morning.

00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:10.000
Vidález came this morning
and brought the machine to shave my head.

00:56:15.120 --> 00:56:17.760
Have you seen how cute my boyfriend is?

00:56:30.080 --> 00:56:31.920
My coyote!

00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:34.120
That cell.

00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:38.960
The cell is four squares, the bed,

00:56:39.200 --> 00:56:41.720
a little corridor, a toilet and a sink.

00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:43.760
I spent some time in a cell.

00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:47.800
When I was in prison,
I slept most of the time.

00:56:48.240 --> 00:56:50.640
But they wake me up
every five or six hours.

00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:53.200
I spent all the time sleeping.

00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:15.960
Wait, wait!

00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:19.360
What's up?
- There are lots of cars coming.

00:57:19.560 --> 00:57:22.600
I've seen people getting hit by cars here.

00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:27.840
The hotel looks so pretty.
- So white in the darkness.

00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:32.800
We can cross now.

00:57:45.560 --> 00:57:48.440
Alegna, could you give me
a bit more space?

00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:51.960
So everyone can see your scarf?
- Exactly.

00:58:26.080 --> 00:58:27.840
He would make me forget Willy.

00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:29.480
Problems.

00:58:29.640 --> 00:58:33.480
Not a problem. I would just forget Willy.

00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:36.680
He would make her forget Willy.

00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:38.640
Just for a moment.

00:58:40.720 --> 00:58:44.600
So this is a work area here?

00:58:45.200 --> 00:58:46.840
No, nobody works here.

00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:50.720
This is a place to socialize.
- If the occasion arises...

00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.720
You can work anywhere.

00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:58.120
You'll find a worker
and a client everywhere.

00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:01.480
Exactly. You work
when the opportunity arises.

00:59:01.640 --> 00:59:03.720
I don't normally work.

00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:09.920
Sometimes people force you to work

00:59:10.080 --> 00:59:13.720
because you're walking along
and they offer you money for sex.

00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:16.080
You weren't really working, you see.

00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:19.880
You make the most of it.

00:59:20.040 --> 00:59:22.960
If you like the person
you take the money.

00:59:23.120 --> 00:59:24.600
Two birds with one stone.

00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:27.960
You open your purse
and buy meat the next day.

01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:40.240
The awaited news:
the presidents of Cuba and the US

01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:46.360
have simultaneously made the most
important announcement of 2014.

01:00:46.520 --> 01:00:47.720
Compatriots!

01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:50.000
We are now advancing

01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:53.080
despite all difficulties

01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:56.920
the process of revising
our economic model,

01:00:57.080 --> 01:01:03.680
in order to build a prosperous
and sustainable socialism.

01:01:04.160 --> 01:01:07.400
We're proposing to the US government

01:01:07.640 --> 01:01:11.040
the joint adoption of measures

01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:14.360
in order to improve the bilateral climate

01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:22.920
and normalize the relations
between our two countries.

01:01:23.640 --> 01:01:24.680
Uncle, come!

01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:28.920
We thank Raúl Castro for the liberation
and exchange of prisoners.

01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:32.400
Regarding freedom of information,

01:01:32.560 --> 01:01:36.800
we intend to improve the communication
between Cuba and the US.

01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.560
Did you hear that?

01:01:39.040 --> 01:01:40.880
56 years.

01:01:42.600 --> 01:01:47.280
We welcome
the prisoner exchange with Cuba.

01:01:47.680 --> 01:01:52.600
As well as the decision to grant
Internet access to its citizens.

01:01:54.040 --> 01:01:56.640
Hear that? I'll have Internet.

01:01:57.600 --> 01:02:02.840
We'll support the Cuban people,

01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:06.720
so they can enter quickly
into the 21st Century.

01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:09.920
Mom, things are going to improve.

01:02:10.080 --> 01:02:11.800
Did you hear, Wilfredo?

01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:16.080
I can't believe it.
- It's a dream! After so many years.

01:02:17.600 --> 01:02:21.880
Obama is saying different things
than one month ago. Incredible!

01:02:22.040 --> 01:02:24.800
Incredible!

01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.000
This is it now.
- We'll see what happens.

01:02:29.560 --> 01:02:30.960
No, don't worry.

01:02:31.120 --> 01:02:34.200
I'll have Internet at home
by the end of next year.

01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:35.440
Let's see.

01:02:35.600 --> 01:02:39.360
I'll communicate with my uncle
and the whole world.

01:02:39.520 --> 01:02:44.040
As he says, "Freedom of expression."

01:02:44.200 --> 01:02:48.120
I'll be able to say whatever I want.
Finally, God!

01:02:48.280 --> 01:02:50.400
Let's celebrate!

01:03:14.200 --> 01:03:15.320
How was your flight?

01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:17.280
Welcome again!

01:03:21.520 --> 01:03:24.120
You must look into people's eyes.

01:03:26.120 --> 01:03:27.800
Why look into people's eyes?

01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:31.080
If you don't, you'll have
seven years of bad sex.

01:03:34.600 --> 01:03:38.440
We've come together
to celebrate the possibility

01:03:38.600 --> 01:03:45.000
that our friends, professors from Belgium
and the Netherlands, Marlon and Stan,

01:03:45.160 --> 01:03:49.360
can continue helping us.

01:03:49.600 --> 01:03:53.320
I want to thank you, because since 2007

01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:56.840
you've been coming every year

01:03:57.000 --> 01:04:02.880
to give happiness to our transgender
and especially transsexual people.

01:04:03.040 --> 01:04:09.200
And what a coincidence
that exactly in this week...

01:04:12.240 --> 01:04:15.280
these unexpected
developments have taken place.

01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:18.040
We are all very surprised

01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:25.120
because for so long we all hoped
for the end of the embargo.

01:04:25.680 --> 01:04:28.840
My dad is a good conspirator.

01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:30.560
He said nothing.

01:04:30.720 --> 01:04:33.480
He has been working on that
for more than a year.

01:04:33.680 --> 01:04:37.840
He had a lot on his plate,
but he wanted to come to my thesis defense.

01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.240
He didn't come
and he didn't call to congratulate me.

01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:46.120
My dad didn't call me, he was very busy.

01:04:46.560 --> 01:04:49.520
He had something important to do.
- He was very busy.

01:04:49.720 --> 01:04:52.080
A little important thing.

01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:55.840
I don't know,
we must wait to see what happens.

01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.320
Who's to say that the new relationship
with the US will make things easier?

01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:03.160
Hypothetically, it should.

01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:05.800
But who knows
what will effectively happen.

01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:10.200
In theory, socialism is wonderful.
- In theory.

01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:14.440
In practice, it's got its problems.
- It's very complex.

01:05:55.640 --> 01:05:58.200
We're here for the filming.

01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.840
But after the filming,
we're not on talking terms.

01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:07.880
My family doesn't want to support me

01:06:08.040 --> 01:06:11.600
with CENESEX nor the surgery.

01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:16.240
I've made my decision,
but they won't respect it.

01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:19.640
We've cut relations
and we don't talk not to hurt each other.

01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:23.400
They don't call me by my first name,
they use my surname.

01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:26.040
There's no solution.

01:06:26.240 --> 01:06:29.200
If the Church doesn't
understand... what should I do?

01:06:30.120 --> 01:06:33.920
Because, even though I'm a Christian...

01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:38.760
Can I listen?
- No! I'll talk with you later.

01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:40.720
Do something else.

01:06:41.120 --> 01:06:44.120
This is my problem, not yours.
You said it yourself.

01:06:46.160 --> 01:06:49.200
Please! We can't go on
with the shooting.

01:06:51.040 --> 01:06:55.120
I am a Christian,
but to have a meaningful life,

01:06:55.280 --> 01:07:00.240
if I can't do what I do,
I'm doomed to failure. Simple as that.

01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:30.280
Today is a day of happiness

01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:35.440
We want to express that to our mums

01:07:35.640 --> 01:07:40.400
Divine soul of love and peace

01:07:40.560 --> 01:07:44.440
I sing to her sublime goodness

01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:50.080
Without haste, with tenderness

01:07:50.240 --> 01:07:53.960
And love, you believe in God

01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:58.960
And I'll do it for you

01:07:59.600 --> 01:08:03.880
Honor your mothers.
They are a gift from God.

01:08:04.640 --> 01:08:11.760
They were willing to endure
all discomfort for nine months,

01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:15.760
to change their lives
so you could come into existence

01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:17.800
and have a good start in life.

01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:20.920
Mothers bless their children.

01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:24.640
Children bless their mothers.

01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:27.000
And God blesses their homes.

01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:10.320
Hopefully, after the roundabout.
- It's closed here too.

01:09:14.200 --> 01:09:17.800
That street is closed to traffic.
I heard about it.

01:09:17.960 --> 01:09:20.400
All the main streets in the city.

01:09:29.320 --> 01:09:31.840
I'm taking a medical emergency
to the hospital.

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:34.600
Listen, we have to get there, it's urgent!

01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:38.560
You'll end up sweeping the streets...
- We can't get through. Stop.

01:09:39.240 --> 01:09:41.800
You're being very rude.

01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.400
He's the patient.
- I'm the patient.

01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:48.120
Look, I'm doing my job.
- I'm serious.

01:09:48.280 --> 01:09:50.320
Look, with all due respect,

01:09:50.480 --> 01:09:53.680
if you threaten us,
we're going to take offence.

01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:55.280
Don't listen to him.

01:09:56.040 --> 01:09:57.920
Help us! We need to get there.

01:09:58.080 --> 01:10:00.120
They don't know about our problem.

01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.640
Take this street there.
- Thank you.

01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:07.960
If you behave like that,
nobody is going to listen to you.

01:10:08.120 --> 01:10:11.640
You can't go round threatening people
that are doing their job.

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:15.040
If you threaten people, they'll kill you.
- They'll kill us!

01:10:15.200 --> 01:10:18.200
Getting them all rowdy
only makes matters worse.

01:10:18.360 --> 01:10:19.880
You're so stupid.

01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:23.040
You talk too much.
Keep your mouth shut.

01:10:34.440 --> 01:10:37.560
Finally. What an ordeal to get here!

01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:47.760
How much is it, please?

01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:49.440
15 dollars.

01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:18.760
OK, Odette...

01:11:18.920 --> 01:11:22.440
Dr Marlon.
- Good morning, how are you?

01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:24.680
You met last year.
- Good afternoon.

01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:25.960
Dr Stan.
- Yes.

01:11:27.040 --> 01:11:29.240
They are...
- I know them.

01:11:29.440 --> 01:11:31.200
The surgeons.

01:11:32.120 --> 01:11:34.320
Are you Odette?
- Odette, yes.

01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:37.680
Are you ready for tomorrow?

01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:39.920
Is it tomorrow? Tuesday.

01:11:40.080 --> 01:11:43.400
Yes.
- Yes? You're ready, good.

01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:45.960
You're the best in the world. I know it.

01:11:46.120 --> 01:11:49.600
God said he wouldn't choose
just anybody. Only the best.

01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:51.320
And so be it.
- Sure.

01:11:51.480 --> 01:11:54.880
I love him.
It's difficult for me as a mother

01:11:55.040 --> 01:11:59.240
because I always wished to have a son.

01:11:59.400 --> 01:12:01.160
I like girls but, well...

01:12:01.400 --> 01:12:03.800
Her mother still refers to her as a "he".

01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:07.640
It's understandable they find it hard

01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:09.640
to think of her as a female.

01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:13.360
It's a complex situation
in a religious family.

01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:18.040
It's understandable, these things
must have been very hard on her.

01:12:18.200 --> 01:12:20.800
Her childhood, very traumatic, but...

01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:27.360
I'm worried about decisions that have
such an effect on a person's life.

01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:31.200
What you decide in this moment
will have consequences.

01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:37.120
And these consequences
will be lasting and can't be forgiven.

01:12:56.040 --> 01:12:58.040
He's coming out.
- Yes.

01:13:15.360 --> 01:13:17.080
There's a corner just here.

01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:21.640
Stay there, we'll do it together.
- Wait.

01:13:22.240 --> 01:13:24.040
Give us a hand.

01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:26.640
We need to lift it.

01:13:37.160 --> 01:13:38.720
Here he comes.

01:13:55.960 --> 01:13:58.080
And when we arrived,

01:13:58.280 --> 01:14:00.640
they said, "He's had breakfast."
- "All good."

01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:04.520
Luckily.
- He even showed me his penis. "Look!"

01:14:05.080 --> 01:14:07.200
And is it big?
- Yes.

01:14:07.760 --> 01:14:09.680
You see? Everything is possible.

01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:11.680
And it's all thanks to you.

01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.360
We did it together.

01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:18.560
Do you feel pain?
- No.

01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:20.120
That's good.

01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:23.120
And how's the family?
- Happy.

01:14:23.280 --> 01:14:24.760
Satisfied.

01:14:25.280 --> 01:14:29.280
We'll have you soon active again

01:14:29.440 --> 01:14:31.080
and working with us.

01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:41.680
CENESEX, hello.

01:14:46.240 --> 01:14:47.200
And?

01:14:48.080 --> 01:14:51.160
No, she's not here right now.
Do you want to leave a message?

01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:54.160
Vargas? Yes.

01:15:10.280 --> 01:15:13.000
Can you tell Malú to come here first?

01:15:19.040 --> 01:15:22.040
What is this appointment for?
- To see the committee.

01:15:23.240 --> 01:15:25.040
It's a consultation.

01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:28.120
What happens in the consultation?

01:15:28.280 --> 01:15:31.600
They'll tell me again
that I'm not getting an operation.

01:15:33.160 --> 01:15:35.360
The committee wants to see me

01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:38.200
to tell me I won't get an operation.

01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:44.480
How many people
undergo surgery each year?

01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:46.280
Five.

01:15:49.320 --> 01:15:51.560
It depends who is chosen.

01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:56.240
She really wants it.

01:15:56.640 --> 01:15:59.200
But it's not up to her.
She's made up her mind.

01:15:59.360 --> 01:16:01.920
It depends on whether she's chosen.

01:16:02.520 --> 01:16:04.440
It feels like an eternity.

01:16:07.440 --> 01:16:11.760
There are others who came just one year
and they already got their surgery.

01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:18.920
It's something... illogical.

01:16:20.360 --> 01:16:22.280
It's not logical.

01:16:23.200 --> 01:16:24.280
But well...

01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:28.080
When it's up to others,
you have to wait.

01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:32.920
And Odette?
- That nutcase is doing fine.

01:16:33.080 --> 01:16:35.200
They're filming her as well.

01:16:35.360 --> 01:16:38.200
Did she get the operation?
- No, but she's to blame.

01:16:38.360 --> 01:16:39.680
She didn't want to.

01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:43.120
She didn't want to?
- She left the operation room.

01:16:54.480 --> 01:16:57.240
At 8:30 a.m. the phone rang.

01:16:58.200 --> 01:17:02.640
Basically, the pastor said he knew me.

01:17:03.040 --> 01:17:07.080
That the building and all the people
were possessed by the devil.

01:17:07.240 --> 01:17:12.040
That I should drop everything
and leave the hospital.

01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:20.000
And with the stress of the call,
I was already...

01:17:21.480 --> 01:17:25.200
They decided I wasn't fit for surgery.

01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:00.320
Last year...

01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:03.480
My family caused problems.
- I didn't know.

01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:05.920
Sergio can tell you.

01:18:06.080 --> 01:18:07.960
Don't cry.

01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:10.680
Don't cry.

01:18:11.320 --> 01:18:13.840
Don't cry, girl.

01:18:20.280 --> 01:18:22.040
We've fought hard.

01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:27.080
Don't cry.

01:18:28.120 --> 01:18:30.480
Don't cry, girl.

01:18:40.920 --> 01:18:43.360
I'm sick of that.
I've got a woman's brain.

01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:46.600
My illness is that my brain
doesn't correspond to my body.

01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:48.720
That's not my fault.

01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:52.120
It's very hard
to live in a foreign body!

01:18:52.280 --> 01:18:55.320
It's difficult
to be in an intermediate state.

01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:02.280
It didn't happen because he was undecided.

01:19:02.480 --> 01:19:04.920
He felt bad...
- I had decided!

01:19:05.160 --> 01:19:09.560
The medical team decided against it
because of that call.

01:19:09.720 --> 01:19:12.080
"A person who isn't relaxed..."

01:19:12.440 --> 01:19:14.320
You answered the phone.

01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:17.240
I thought it was my sister
who wanted to talk to me.

01:19:17.400 --> 01:19:18.680
Why not just hang up.

01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:20.760
Enough, Mom.
- Admit that you...

01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:23.680
No! Lies! No!

01:19:26.400 --> 01:19:30.560
I haven't said anything to anger you.
- Except that CENESEX is a den of sin.

01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:35.320
I'm saying that in CENESEX
they've made up something you don't have.

01:19:36.080 --> 01:19:38.080
Something you're not.

01:19:39.040 --> 01:19:42.720
I don't want to have
anything to do with religion. It's over!

01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:48.720
The Church is wrong.
I have to tell the leaders they are wrong.

01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:50.880
Accept that God created man and woman.

01:19:51.040 --> 01:19:53.080
You can't go against Creation.

01:19:53.240 --> 01:19:55.840
You're a man.
- Enough!

01:19:56.680 --> 01:20:00.280
You're a man
and that's a serious problem.

01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:02.400
I'm a human being.

01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:05.640
I'll kill myself if that's what you want.

01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:26.760
Griela!
- What?

01:20:26.920 --> 01:20:29.880
Juani is in love,
pierced by Cupid's dart

01:20:30.040 --> 01:20:32.520
and his love is not requited.
- No way.

01:20:32.680 --> 01:20:35.600
I didn't tell you?
- You didn't.

01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:39.240
Yes, she's pretty.
The woman is pretty.

01:20:39.400 --> 01:20:41.600
I fell in love on the phone.

01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:43.480
You understand?
- Unbelievable!

01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:44.840
You liked her voice.

01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:46.960
I fell in love with Pavón
when I saw him.

01:20:47.120 --> 01:20:49.800
It's not just the voice.

01:20:49.960 --> 01:20:53.280
It was the conversation,
what she said to me.

01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:55.600
On the phone. Imagine!

01:20:55.840 --> 01:20:57.200
You must break the ice.

01:20:57.360 --> 01:21:02.600
But I broke the ice.
If she's not responding, what can I do?

01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:03.920
But she will be.

01:21:04.640 --> 01:21:07.680
That's why I was saying
you'll get it in 2015.

01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:14.320
Fatherland or death!

01:21:32.120 --> 01:21:33.520
HAPPY 2015

01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:39.200
Do not ask for bad things
You'll regret it

01:21:39.360 --> 01:21:41.360
What do you want from me?

01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:44.240
Come here!

01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:46.680
Come on, Juani!

01:21:53.120 --> 01:21:55.000
Why won't you dance?

01:21:56.320 --> 01:21:58.920
What do you want from me?

01:22:11.080 --> 01:22:15.280
Malú, what are your wishes
for the new year?

01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:17.240
Good things.

01:22:18.040 --> 01:22:19.640
And great health.

01:22:21.280 --> 01:22:23.840
Good health solves everything else.

01:22:25.320 --> 01:22:27.520
Everything else works itself out.

01:22:34.360 --> 01:22:35.880
And your operation?

01:22:36.480 --> 01:22:40.680
Well, if it happens, great.

01:22:40.840 --> 01:22:43.240
It'll happen when God wills it.

01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:46.080
If it is this year... Whenever.

01:22:46.520 --> 01:22:49.040
I've lived my whole life like this.

01:22:49.200 --> 01:22:50.760
To wait...

01:22:52.560 --> 01:22:54.120
Whenever it's my turn.

01:23:39.440 --> 01:23:41.920
Heli, where do you want to go now?

01:23:52.960 --> 01:23:56.000
What I really want
is to leave this world and go to heaven.

01:23:56.160 --> 01:23:59.880
To be with Jesus in heaven,
where there will be no operations.

01:24:00.040 --> 01:24:04.040
No more death.
No more pain. No more crying.

01:24:04.200 --> 01:24:08.760
There will be no more rain.
What I want the most is to be in heaven.

01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:12.000
This world has little time left.

01:24:12.200 --> 01:24:15.080
If you're asking me
about the earthly plane,

01:24:15.240 --> 01:24:20.480
what I want the most is to conclude
my transition, as it's called.

01:24:21.200 --> 01:24:23.600
So I can be a normal person.

01:24:25.240 --> 01:24:28.960
But I don't think
they'll call me next year.

01:24:29.240 --> 01:24:31.120
Maybe they won't.

01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:34.240
It'll be whenever they want to.

01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.520
It's possible
that they never call me again.

01:24:37.680 --> 01:24:38.680
It's possible.
