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.

Mickey

Filmed over 10 years, Mickey is a documentary about the memory of a trans woman from Sinaloa who, alongside the filmmaker who grew up with her, Dano, uses play and performance to re-signify the past and inhabit the present.
