In Ciudad Peronia, Guatemala, teenage sisters Lesli and Lupe lead a fearless rebellion against gender violence through Comparsa - a vibrant street performance of towering puppets, fire, and drums that rallies youth and reclaims public space. Sparked by the government’s refusal to act after 41 girls were killed in a State-run “Safe Home,” their movement confronts corruption while exposing the violence they’ve endured themselves. Rooted in joy, community care, and a 15-year bond with the filmmakers, Comparsa is a luminous portrait of sisterhood, resilience, and the healing power of art.
