Lovers in the Sky explores the stories of Cristina and La Bonita, two trans cooks who have spent decades working aboard cargo ships that tirelessly navigate the rivers of the Peruvian Amazon. Facing personal and social pressures, both women journey through and reinvent themselves within the territory of post-identity.
Cristina seeks to fulfill a promise she made to her late mother, while La Bonita is driven by her fear of burning forever in hell.
