by Toti Baches and Dirk Manthey
Hamburg | Documentary | 1h 14m I Original with German subtitles
"The jewelry of the street, that's Eva, Kelly, Chiqui and many other trans women from Latin America who live in Schmuckstraße in St. Pauli. They came to Hamburg because they can't live and work as freely in their home country as they can here."
"Rosa Baches and Dirk Manthey [...] show their protagonists in their everyday lives and let them speak candidly about their wishes and hopes. [...] An extremely touching documentary about a fascinating microcosm in the heart of Hamburg." (Hamburger Morgenpost, 2011)
