In a quiet Oaxacan town, Soma, a Muxe woman, lives in the delicate rhythm of daily care—tending to her aging mother and holding together a home built on tradition, labor, and silent understanding. When Ezra, a nomadic documentarian, arrives to capture Soma’s story, his presence stirs something long dormant. Over the course of the filming, the two begin to circle each other—sharing moments that speak louder than words. What begins as a portrait becomes something far more intimate. As Ezra’s departure looms, both must confront what it means to be truly seen — and whether a fleeting moment of connection is enough to change the course of a life.
