What happens

Loxoro es un cortometraje peruano dirigido por Claudia Llosa y estrenado en 2011. Presentado en el marco del proyecto Fronteras, de la cadena de televisión por cable TNT, el corto pretende reflexionar sobre la idea de frontera desde la perspectiva de las barreras que existen dentro de la comunidad gay y transexual en Perú. El lóxoro es el lenguaje cifrado utilizado por la comunidad trans de Perú para mantener su intimidad y protegerse de las agresiones.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
