Ale is a beautiful transgender cartonera who lives on the city’s edge, in a shantytown for the gay and transgender homeless.  She gathers refuse and cardboard on the Buenos Aires streets to make a living.  One night Ale sees 10-year old Julia being forced back inside her house by the maid and her father.  The maid quits, and in frustration, the father throws a mysterious cardboard box into the trash.  Ale takes the box containing the personal effects & journal of Mia, Julia’s deceased mother.  The story allows us to evaluate the issue of discrimination, intolerance, marginalization and social exclusion, but also that of the infinite capacity to love nascent in all human beings
