About this release
Marieta vorrebbe per una volta dimenticarsi di chiamarsi Adolfo, come il padre di cui ha ereditato, con suo grande dispiacere, anche gli stessi "20 centimetri". Marieta desidera essere una donna a tutti gli effetti. Ad aggravare i suoi problemi c'è anche il fatto che Marieta soffre di narcolessia e cade addormentata sempre nei momenti meno opportuni. Durante i suoi attacchi di sonno Marita sogna a colori, in musica e in lingua straniera. Un giorno al mercato Marita incontra l'uomo dei suoi sogni ma i loro desideri e le loro passioni sembrano correre su binari diversi.

She works as a prostitute in Madrid and longs for a legitimate job. Whenever she builds up her savings, her housemate and best friend Tomás finds ways to spend, lose, or cost her those funds. She meets Raúl, whom she likes and who likes her; the trouble is he also likes that part of her she wants removed.
