Plot
After 'Sedimentos', which explored the hopes and fears of a group of trans women, Adrián Silvestre now focuses on Raphaëlle Pérez, who faces the decision to change her sex in an environment of indifference and misunderstanding. Instead of opting for melodrama or denunciation cinema, however, the film gradually becomes a light and hopeful chronicle about identity, difference and the role of art (and cinema) in all of this. And Raphaëlle, to top it off, plays herself with a mixture of grace and fragility that ends up captivating her. A summit of non-fiction.
Raphi is a young, androgynous and somewhat naive person. She writes poems and dreams of falling in love with a Prince Charming. She from her native France moves to Barcelona, ??where reality is far from being as she projects it. After being diagnosed with gender dysphoria, she will begin an arduous journey to assume her true identity. Doctors, partners, artists, and men she gets to know will give her her own advice, but only her time and experience will help Raphi find her place in the world.
Originally, it was thought that Raphaëlle would be one of the protagonists of 'Sedimentos', the youngest member of the group of transsexual women who go to a rural retreat to get to know the town of one of them. However, the young woman was unable to join the project. However, Adrián Silvestre chose to create a feature film centered on her, although from the perspective of a fictional story with hints of a documentary. Winner of the Special Jury Prize, Biznaga de Plata, at the 25th edition of the Malaga Festival. Official section of the Rotterdam Film Festival and the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Collective Impulse Award of the D'A Film Festival 2022.
