World Premiere

Fernanda

Directed by Mary Angélica Molina

United States | 12 minutes | 2021


A comedy about three radical queers of color who want to change the world before it changes them.

On the verge of turning 30, Fer, Amy and Bea are facing a difficult choice: do they create a world that reflects their social justice values or do they settle for an inherently unjust world where they can get good cocktails and Bad Bunny tickets?
