The Contestant Synopsis
Argenis, Yanvaldo, Carlos, Eduardo and Javier have something in common: they will compete in the Miss Gay Venezuela, a trans beauty contest where the man who most resembles a “Miss” wins. For several weeks, we follow them in their preparations for the final night of the contest, seeing how that illusion is built: that of being a beauty queen for one night. The event is the excuse and the ideal setting to find ourselves with wishes, fantasies and the search for a dream come true. They look for the beautiful and feminine to achieve a desire: to be admired and recognized as the most beautiful trans in the contest.
The Contestant (2021) is a documentary film directed by Ronald Rivas, released on October 1, 2021 with a runtime of 1h 18m. It stars Eduardo Ramírez, Yanwaldo Nieves, Dayana Aglerth and Argenis González.
