Papá Melissa (2025)

Documentary

In the heart of Mexico City, Melissa and Claudia, a married couple for over 20 years and the proud parents of five, navigate Melissa's own version of gender identity. Through laughter, conflict, and unconditional love, they challenge binary thinking and embrace Melissa's paradoxical evolving self — a bold and uncanny celebration of identity, resilience, and the challenges of the path of becoming one's true self.

Director: Sophia Stieglitz
