A meet between two strangers that become a trip to the sea, where their deep solitudes will be complicit in the cycles that both are about to close.

Mexican short about a boy who falls in love with his new swimming partner.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. After the death of the family patriarch, mother and child go separate ways to find themselves—she crosses the ocean to pursue the singing career she left behind, while filmmaker Gal realizes they are transgender—in this collage of video diaries. "My father dies. Days later, my mother escapes to Turkey to meet her secret Facebook lover. I suggest to my mother that we communicate through video letters. My mother, who gave up singing to raise me, finds freedom for the first time away from home. The video correspondences reveal our attempts to see each other through a shaky emotional journey. Alone, while filming this movie, I realized that I want to transition gender and change my name. An extraordinary journey of self-discovery, a mother and a child who always wanted to be more."

Gema’s suicide attempt brings her three children together after many years, on the eve of an unusually cold Christmas in Guadalajara. Cristina, stubborn and deeply Catholic, sees herself as their mother’s caretaker; Sony, a psychic on the local Latino TV channel, fled as far as she could over twenty years ago and never came back; and Brunito, the much younger one, a frustrated biologist and forty-something gay man still dreaming of finding the love of his life. A cold front moves in and traps them inside the house, threatening to bring back the family’s most painful memory—and place it right on the table.

Julian is a child who fantasizes about seeing a mermaid. He treasures a collection of clues that he finds after each day of fishing with Chava, his father.

On the shores of the largest lake in Mexico live "the night flowers", a group of teenage gay and transgender friends who get together to live their freedom and identity.
