Catalina is the true story of Catalina d'Erauso, born in 17th century Spain, who wished to travel the world. One day she cuts her hair, dresses in men's clothing, and becomes Francisco. Her new identity is internalized so much that she convinces not only everyone around her - including her lovers - but eventually even herself. Her path leads her to the New World and is a breathtaking and extraordinary story of a despairing quest for the other - and for one's self.
