Carmín

About This Movie

Carmín really dives into the everyday life of Sofía Saunier, which is both fascinating and intimate. The documentary captures her routine, focusing on the care for her housemate and the challenges of bringing Transur to life—a project that's not just about film but also about reflecting the nuances of Uruguay's trans community. The pacing feels organic, like you’re just hanging out with her, making it distinct from more polished docu-styles. There’s an atmosphere of raw honesty here, which is refreshing. The practical aspects of filmmaking and the way Sofía navigates her world shine through, and it’s a poignant reminder of the stories that need telling, without over-dramatizing. Really gives you a sense of place and purpose.
