IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY (Lo que se hereda)
Victoria Linares is shocked to discover she is related to fellow queer artist Oscar Torres, a pioneering Caribbean filmmaker and activist. Once a world-renowned director, Torres is long-forgotten by his nation and his family. Intrigued and fearing her own erasure, Linares journeys down a path of kindred self-discovery and historical excavation by unearthing memories and staging re-enactments of her cousin’s unproduced screenplays.
