Lá na frente

Set in the colorful rhythms of Olinda, this animated short gently contemplates loss, memory, and identity. Seen through a child’s perspective, it traces how love endures after the absence of Raula, a transgender woman whose presence remains deeply woven into her family’s life. Rather than centering conflict or rejection, the film treats Raula’s gender identity as something naturally understood and embraced, allowing space for a more intimate reflection on how acceptance can coexist with mourning. With quiet lyricism, it celebrates the persistence of affection and the beauty of simply being seen and remembered as oneself.
