An animated short documentary about the case of the transsexual, Gisberta, who was violently beaten, stoned and raped during 3 days by a group of teenagers in Porto, Portugal, in 2006. With the testimonials of friends, as well as unpublished interviews with two of the teenagers involved in the case, the short film focuses on concepts such as violence, self-consciousness, morality and identity, thus confronting different dimensions of human condition and diversity. In the last decade, more than 1700 transsexuals were killed, and since 2009, every three days one transsexual is murdered. (Guadalajara International Film Festival)
