Transuniversal takes a journey through the history of the struggle for the recognition of the rights of trans people. A route that has not been, nor is it being easy for the equalization of human rights, for which ultimately we were all born. The Trans Law is the flame that keeps alive the hope of many people who suffer the lack of opportunities and the rejection of much of society. Transuniversal traces a historical, cultural, cinematographic, social and human map.

Manolita Chen became in the mid-eighties the first Spanish transsexual mother who managed to adopt. Through the documentary she tells us about that process, as well as her experiences as a transgressive woman at a time when Spain was not yet socially or legally advanced. We discover a life full of bitterness but without rancor in between, where she nostalgically recalls her facet as a businesswoman and vedette, gradually managing to integrate into her hometown, Arcos de la Frontera, where she currently enjoys the affection and approval of her relatives and neighbors.
The story begins with stories and impressions of the protagonists about what the dictatorial regime meant for the trans community of the time. These impressions are intertwined with the personal experiences that the victims suffered at the hands of society and the police, and how the law of vagrants and thugs or the law of social dangerousness was used against them as a method of legal protection. The film also focuses on future generations and the privilege of living in a society that has achieved basic rights as a result of the struggle of previous generations, marked by a suffering that today drives us to continue the struggle.
What is heteronormativity, what does it mean for men and women, what is the cultural canon, does culture reflect or does culture construct? We reflect on all this by putting in dialogue ten people who, from different fields of culture, have thought about this.
