This Body of Mine

Directed by Afioco Gnecco

United by an unbreakable friendship, Rafael and Carolina embark on an emotional and geographical journey in search of reconciliation and acceptance. Along the way, we follow Rafael through the first years of his gender transition: an intimate process filled with challenges, discoveries, and small victories that bring him closer to the square meter of peace he so deeply longs for. A luminous story in which friendship becomes a refuge and the personal expands until it feels universal. Amid remote landscapes and shared moments of vulnerability, the film reveals the beauty — and also the harshness — of inhabiting a body in transformation in a world that is only just beginning to learn how to see.
