In 1968, Argentine artist Leandro Katz attends a performance by the Theatre of the Ridiculous in a New York pornographic cinema. The actors, in drag, recite texts that weave high literature with queer slang, undress, and perform with exuberance. Katz becomes part of the ensemble, assisting in lighting, photography, experimental film works through 1976. Eventually he parts ways as his artistic path diverges. In the present day, living in Buenos Aires, Katz revisits his archives—photos, negatives, slides, works, and an unfinished film believed lost. As testimony and memory unfold, the past's specters seep into the present.
