EVA IN RIO

Eva, a 20 year old trans girl, wakes up in Rio de Janeiro—her own wonderland. In pursuit of her tinder boi and her perfect body, her surreal ambitions come up against her inevitable return to reality. How can Eva reconcile the difference between the life she dreams of and the life she is living?
