LOGLINE

Born with sex characteristics beyond male or female, a reluctant refugee from a radical island is thrust into an inner-city battle to defend the rights of others.

OVERVIEW

Business-Man is a surreal allegory of identity, exile, and defiance. Born with sex characteristics beyond male or female, Cabrón is cast out from a radical Caribbean island and thrust into the chaos of an unforgiving city. Navigating violence, activism, and the weight of cultural silence — what is seen but never spoken — Cabrón becomes both target and symbol in a battle for dignity and survival. Bold, provocative, and deeply human, the pilot reframes difference not as burden, but as power.
