Cara Mamma
When dancer Naissa tells his mum Daniela that he identifies as a trans man and will be transitioning, she struggles to understand. Through candid personal letters exchanged over three years, dream-like allegorical sequences and cinema verité, Cara Mamma follows Naissa as he stands firmly for his independence and identity, and Daniela as she wrestles with her fear of losing a daughter. As Naissa embarks on his professional dance career and proudly embodies his gender, his mother also embarks on a journey of understanding and acceptance of her son’s choices.
