CGiii Comment

Semillites and Tania, two queer siblings bound by a powerful friendship, journey through the brown terrain of their own bodies – lands they once rejected. They traverse landscapes of skin, dreams and viscera, crossing into places that pulse with their ancestors’ memory and, along the way, encounter a constellation of flowers, grasshoppers and fossils. Through collage, animation, manifesto, dance and intimacy, the film moves across scales of body and territory, reimagining identity beyond Mexico’s colonial narratives.


Semillites y Tania, dos hermanos queer unidos por una poderosa amistad, recorren el territorio moreno de sus propios cuerpos, tierras que una vez rechazaron. Recorren paisajes de piel, sueños y vísceras, adentrándose en lugares que vibran con la memoria de sus ancestros y, en el camino, se encuentran con una constelación de flores, saltamontes y fósiles. A través del collage, la animación, el manifiesto, la danza y la intimidad, la película se mueve por las escalas del cuerpo y el territorio, reimaginando la identidad más allá de las narrativas coloniales de México.
