About the Event
BEING IMPOSSIBLE
Directed by Patricia Ortega
(2018; 86 min.; Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; Spanish with English subtitles; Color Digital)
Ariel is a young religious dressmaker who, after a failed sexual encounter, discovers a secret her family has tried to hide all of her like: she was born intersex but, after corrective surgery, raised as a girl. A decision is now in her horizon: she can either keep living as a socially accepted but oppressed woman or live her life as an intersexual person and face the judgement of society.
