Plot

In the vibrant heart of Madrid, we follow a few transformative days in the life of Marieta, a trans woman on the brink of finalizing her transition through surgery. Earning a living in the shadowy corners of society as a prostitute, Marieta yearns for the normality of a legitimate job. Yet, every time she manages to scrape together enough for her final surgery, her well-intentioned yet reckless housemate, Tomás, manages to fritter away her savings. Then enters Raúl, a man who is captivated by Marieta — and the part of her she is desperate to lose. As Marieta jostles with her feelings for Raúl and her desire for change, she also grapples with narcolepsy, a condition that sends her into a dreamland of musical theater whenever she succumbs to sleep. In these dreams, Marieta is the radiant star, singing and dancing her heart out on the grandest of stages. Yet, as she navigates the chaos of her reality, Marieta can't help but wonder if her dreams will forever remain a tantalizing 20 centimeters out of her grasp. Will she ever get her moment in the spotlight, or will her dreams be forever confined to the realms of her slumber? The story of 20 Centimeters is a vibrant exploration of identity, dreams, and the lengths one will go to reach their true self.
