Mía

Ale is a trans woman. She lives by a river in Buenos Aires. The neighbourhood is largely a refuge for LGBT people. Its residents face the threat of eviction. By day Ale collects cardboard. She also earns money by sewing. One day at work she finds a diary. The diary belonged to a woman called Mía. The woman has died and her family is left behind. Her husband Manuel and her small daughter Julia. As Ale reads the diary she comes closer to them. The gap between father and daughter becomes visible too. Camila Sosa Villada and Rodrigo de la Serna take the leads, with Maite Lanata also in the cast, in Javier van de Couter’s Argentine film of 2011.
