==> DIE BEAUTIFUL (2016) dir. Jun R. Lana Trisha, a Filipino transgender woman, suddenly dies while being crowned in a beauty pageant. Her last wish was to be presented as a different celebrity on each night of her wake, but her conservative father wants to bury her as a man. Trisha’s friends are left with no choice but to steal her body and hold the wake in a secret location. And as Trisha is transformed to look like different celebrities, they look back on her colorful, extraordinary life as a son, a sister, a mother, a friend, a lover, a wife, and, ultimately, a queen.
