Atempa, Dreams at the Side of the River

Directed by Edson Jair Caballero Trujillo

With Faustino Jiménez de la Cruz, Maira Desales, Raciel Orozco Ortiz, Ignacia Felipe López and Felipe Rasgado Salud

Being a child muxe, or Zapotec homosexual, Tino assumes the role of a woman to reach his teens, to resolve his economic situation and his past, despite social deprivation. Tino wants to achieve his dream of becoming a “quinceañera” and Queen Muxe. This is an intimate journey into a magical town of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, lost in the wild heel of Mexico, where femininity, strong women and men dressed as women prevail.
