Dorina is a middle aged transsexual working for the illegal trade of plastic surgery. She represents a mother figure for her eight-year-old nephew Hero. She behaves as a devoted wife with Uno. Between her work and her family, Dorina is convinced to be a happy woman, until the day Uno falls in love with another transsexual.
In Quick Change, Eduardo Roy Jr depicts with great sensibility these men who have wanted to become other than what they were at birth, and who only yearn for a happy life. He denounces above all the illegal trafficking of cosmetics, especially of collagen injections so popular among transsexuals, women and even men of modest origins, who do not have the means to go to clinics supposedly safe. The heroin is both guilty and a victim of this unscrupulous trade, which can engender death.
