“Everything is performative”
Rafaela, a 19-year-old transgender girl, finds herself torn between two identities: Rafaela, the woman she sees herself as, and Daniel, the man those around her perceive her as. While navigating her college life and engaging with friends and a romantic interest, this dissonance generates increasing internal confusion, leading her to question who she truly is and how she wants to be percieved.
