As the colonial chronicles of the 15th and 17th centuries collect, several indigenous peoples of America considered that gender was not binary, male and female, on the contrary, diversity was the rule. In Panama, the Guna People identify Omeggid people as a third gender, which implies much more than a sexual orientation or erotic preference. This film brings together 4 protagonists in their intimacy, such as mothers, couples, professionals and leaders of the wigudum movement.
