Synopsis: 

In an isolated village of Uruguay, a community house that first started as the BELLA VISTA Football Club clubhouse then became a successful transvestite brothel before being turned into a Sunday school by angry conservative locals who expelled the transvestites. Two transvestites, Elisa, ex-football player, and a nun will bring to life this battle for control of a single physical space that used to be home to the most antagonistic institutions, which are nevertheless driven by the same motivation: passion.
