Come to a unique party in Brazil with trans woman Suzy Santos, where for one enchanted day she invites child-spirits called Erês to join her in a sacred ritual of music and dance. Suzy is a priestess of Candomblé - an Afro-Brazilian religion which is one of the few to welcome the vulnerable "travesti" and LGBTQI+ community. It’s not easy to be black and queer in Brazil; a country with deep structural racism where more trans people are murdered than anywhere else in the world.

Suzy has created her Candomblé temple as a place of refuge and acceptance for all gender identities, where she guides her community in a religious ceremony to celebrate and incorporate the Erês.
