Después de “Sedimentos”, que exploraba las esperanzas y los miedos de un grupo de mujeres trans, Adrián Silvestre se centra ahora en Raphaëlle, que se enfrenta a la decisión de cambiar de sexo en un entorno de indiferencia e incomprensión. En lugar de optar por el melodrama o el cine de denuncia, sin embargo, la película se convierte poco a poco en una crónica ligera y esperanzada sobre la identidad, la diferencia y la función del arte (y del cine) en todo ello. Y Raphaëlle, por si fuera poco, se interpreta a sí misma con una mezcla de gracia y fragilidad que acaba cautivando. Una cumbre de la no-ficción.

Raphi, from France, fantasizes about romances with princes, and about starting a traditional family. But in reality, things aren´t like that. She works in a call center in Barcelona, struggles with at times embarrassing dates, and is diagnosed by her therapist as having gender dysphoria. During this confusing, yet valuable period, we follow this trans woman as she makes her transition, as well as in her everyday life. She talks candidly with colleagues, queer friends, and the men she meets through apps. In spite of all the advice she receives, it turns out that it is mostly time and experience that will help her embrace her place in this world.
