Overview
“The Bella Vista” is the story of a house started as a football club, becoming a successful transvestite brothel and changes at last to a Catholic Chapel, all in a small conservative village in Uruguay. In this playful documentary, two transvestites, one brothel’s Madam and a gaucho football player, will bring to life this battle for control of a single physical space, driven by the same motivation: passion.
