Coraci Ruiz; 2020; Brazil; 1 hour 17 minutes
Portuguese with English subtitles
An intimate documentary from Brazilian filmmaker Coraci Ruiz about her gender questioning teenager, Noah. From 2016 to 2019, Ruiz interviews Noah about their conflicts, their certainties, and their questions during this deep identity search, while simultaneously experiencing her own process of transformation by breaking old paradigms, facing fears, and dismantling prejudices. As the director stares at her reflection in water and mirrors, she breaks the fourth wall to invite the viewer into her world where she shares lineal insight into three generations of family; herself, her mother, and her child.
