Asier Nirea

SPAIN ● 2025 ● 2' ● M/12 ● 2D digital

Asier is a 13-year-old trans boy who is playing in front of the bathroom mirror. This moment of peace is broken when his surroundings constantly remind him of the identity that has been assigned to him, forcing him to confront gender dysphoria. An intimate and emotional look at self-discovery, identity, and the struggle to be oneself.
