CUERPO INCóMODO
Direction: Estefanía Martinez
2026 Documentary Feature Film Development/production
Synopsis:
I inhabit an uncomfortable, rigid body, one that shuts down bit by bit and sometimes won't let me get up. These are not merely symptoms of sclerosis; they are my reality. I decide to meet people who share my world and tell their stories, hoping to understand a part of myself through them.
