Mickey spent the last 10 years exploring her transition process within the conservative context of Sinaloa, Mexico. Through digital archives, artistic reenactments and deeply personal encounters, the film moves between tenderness and rage, transforming memory into an act of freedom. An exploration of self-perception and a nonpunitive confrontation with the past.
