From the director of PASAPORTE ROJO (2003), HERMAFRODITA is a powerful drama about the politics of sexual identity. Set amongst the picturesque mountains of the village of San José de Ocoa in the Dominican Republic, the film centers on the figure of Mary (Mariluz Acosta), a hermaphrodite girl born in the village, who suffers social discrimination. Set on finding a new life, Mary embarks on a journey that involves crossing paths with a man (Garibaldi Reyes) fleeing the town of Santo Domingo after a murder and who may become her lover.
