THINGS WE DARE NOT DO / COSAS QUE NO HACEMOS
A film by Bruno Santamaría
(Mexico, 2020, 71 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
In the small Mexican coastal village of El Roblito, 16-year-old Ñoño lives what seems to be an idyllic existence with his loving family. But he holds a secret. Defying gender norms, Ñoño works up the courage to tell his family he wants to live his life as a woman, a fraught decision in a country shrouded in machismo and transphobia.
