Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film emerges from Spain's growing ballroom scene, which has historically centered Black and Latinx queer communities in the US but is now finding localized expressions across Europe.
The 'Catboy Sex Siren' category specifically references ballroom's tradition of creating new categories that celebrate hybrid identities — here merging furry culture with classic sex siren performance.
