Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original 'Vestida de azul' (1983) was one of Spain's first sympathetic portrayals of trans women, yet director Pedro Almodóvar allegedly blocked its theatrical release for years.
Paca la Piraña and Juani Ruiz play fictionalized versions of themselves but insisted on improvising their scenes, blurring documentary and drama.
