Synopsis

A successful trans actress proudly occupies the space in the world that she has earned. She relishes in the prestige from her glittering career and the attention that it grabs from those around her, including from a handsome Mexican lawyer. As their love blossoms into marriage, making a home and building a family, she traces the course of her life and weaves it into a new trans narrative: one that demands the right to enjoyment, ambition, desire, glamor, and security as well as flaws and contradictions.

Adapted from the homonymous novel by contemporary trans actress and writer Camila Sosa Villada, Thesis on a Domestication shines a spotlight on Villada herself, who masterfully embodies a protagonist who refuses to succumb neither to norms of success and family nor the expectations of life as a trans woman. A bold portrait of a woman who defies definition, and must navigate the cost of her iconoclastic life.
