Caer is a collaborative and experimental documentary that uses both fictional and traditional observation methods to describe the struggles for recognition and justice of Latin American trans women working in the NYC sex industry. The two protagonists, Rosa and Paloma, are filmed while fighting transphobic violence and persecution by the police, defending their cases of trafficking in a political environment (that of the United States) that is increasingly anti-migration. Caer is also a true tribute to the work and legacy of Lorena Borjas, mother of the Latin American trans community of Queens, who, unfortunately, passed away in March 2020: she was among the first victims of COVID-19. The movie is the result of the collaboration between Nicola Mai and the Transgrediendo Intercultural Collective, an association that defends the rights of Latin American trans migrant women in Queens (NYC).
