"A brilliant comic portrait of a catcaller
choreographed with a non-professional cast

who provides passersby with some much needed physical affection."

​Paco is a character my brother and I
​played in our childhood,
based on men on the street,
who would call me “linda.”
The film's racy pretext
forms a tension with its themes
of connection and community.
