OUR BODY IS AN EXPANDING STAR

Semillites and Tania, two queer siblings bound by a powerful friendship, journey through the brown terrain of their own bodies—lands they once turned away from while growing up in a culturally displaced family in Ciudad de México. They traverse landscapes of skin, dreams, and viscera, crossing into places that pulse with their family’s memory. Along the way, they encounter a constellation of ancestors—human and more-than-human—who guide them in reimagining identity beyond México’s colonial cartographies.

Through gestures of animation, manifesto, collage, dance, and dialogue with their surroundings, the film moves across scales of body and territory, tracing the quiet force of transformation and the tenderness of siblinghood.
