Queen of Coal

INSPIRED BY THE TRUE STORY OF CARLITA RODRÍGUEZ

A young trans girl growing up in a small Patagonian mining town secures her dream job as a coal miner as soon as she turns 18, challenging an old superstition rooted in a folk tale that for 80 years forbid all women from entering the mine's underground galleries, fearing that their mere presence could trigger a collapse.
