Description
Guapa follows Rasa over the course of a single day as he navigates his life amidst the turmoil of an unnamed Arab country. His days are filled with translating for Western journalists, while his nights are spent with his lover Taymour in secret. A sudden confrontation with his grandmother sets off a chain of events that propels Rasa into a desperate search for his best friend Maj, a fiery activist and drag queen who has been arrested by the police. With the potential loss of those closest to him weighing heavily on his mind, Rasa embarks on a journey to uncover the roots of his alienation in a society that seems determined to reject him. As he navigates the city, Rasa's search becomes an exploration of his own identity and sense of belonging.
