2022 / Brasil / documentary
Directors: Coraci Ruiz
Portuguese, with English and Lithuanian subtitles, 77 min
The screening will be followed by a conversation with “Trans Autonomija” (in Lithuanian).
It is an autobiographical documentary made by a mother who follows the gender transition of her adolescent son: between 2016 and 2019 she interviews him addressing the conflicts, certainties and uncertainties that pervade him in a deep search for his identity. At the same time, the mother, revealed through a first-person narration and by her voice behind the camera that talks to her son, also goes through a process of transformation required by the situation that life presents her with by breaking old paradigms, facing fears and dismantling prejudices.
