Synopsis:
In a nocturnal world of fleeting gestures, we meet MIC, a 30 year old transgender man in present day Mexico City. After work, Mic drifts through the undercurrent of a fading cabaret and male-only sex club where the pursuit of sex is not an answer, only another question. Driven by the ebb and flow of the quest itself, Mic enters spaces where few words are needed. Leaving nothing but the next encounter.
Awarded the Joaquim Jordà residency in Madrid by the Museo Reina Sofia, FID Marseille, & DocLisboa.
