Fulgencio, one of Ledgard’s colleagues, reads a news story about the missing Vicente and recognizes him as one of their sex change patients. He accuses Ledgard of falsifying Vicente’s consent and of experimenting on him. Vera, who overhears their conversation, tells Fulgenico that he is the missing Vicente and in support of Ledgard, states that he is here by his own free will. After Fulgenico leaves, Vera notices a photograph of himself as Vicente attached to the news story about missing persons.

Tearfully, he tells his lesbian ex-colleague Cristina (whom Vicente had loved six years prior) of his kidnapping, forced sex change, and the murders. As his mother enters the room, Vicente quietly reveals his identity to them in the final line of the film—”I am Vicente.” Arts & Humanities Writing FILM 1143 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
