The Candidate

Directed by Emil Guevara Malavé & Ronald Rivas Casallas

SYNOPSIS

Argenis, Yanvaldo, Carlos, Eduardo and Javier have something in common: they will compete in Miss Gay Venezuela, a transvestite beauty contest where the man who most resembles a "Miss" wins. For several weeks, we follow them in their preparations for the final night of the pageant, seeing how the illusion of being a beauty queen for one night is built. The event is the excuse and the ideal setting to find ourselves with desires, fantasies and the search for a dream come true. They look for the beautiful and feminine to achieve a desire: to be admired and recognized as the most beautiful transvestite in the contest.
