In the magical town of Tepoztlán, Mexico, fifteen-year-old Karla intimately, and unabashedly, guides audiences in her journey for self-discovery, as she navigates the joys and uncertainties of adolescence, alongside society’s gender prejudices. Through Karla’s exploration of her transgender identity, the film presents an empowering, yet sweet coming-of-age story about self-expression, resilience, and the complexities of growing up, that is as specific as it is universal.
This event includes the Festival awards ceremony, the filmmaking challenge winners announcement, and the short film HOWLS TO THE HARBOUR (25 mins). It is followed by a remote Q&A.
