Synopsis

Who are the cis women and trans people that go through the prison system? How did they end up there? How do they transform their time there into something creative, where they can rewrite their own lives and invent a future?
Reas is a musical film starring cis women and trans people who were detained in different prisons in Argentina. In what was once Caseros Prison, now abandoned and in ruins, they reconstruct scenes from their past lives and imagine their future, singing, dancing and performing.
