DESCRIPTION:Spain | 2026 | 103 min. | Ian de la Rosa\nIván (Silver Chicón)\, a young trans man working in a greenhouse in southern Spain\, shoulders the burden of supporting his family through long\, grueling shifts. His routine is disrupted by the arrival of Hadoum (Herminia Loh Moreno)\, a migrant worker of Moroccan descent who drifts from job to job in her battered van. Though they could not be more different\, an undeniable chemistry sparks between them.
