Abril, Helena´s daughter

Maria Moreira, Victor Hugooli

Portugal
2026, 20'

In a new daily life, Abril, a trans woman, chooses her mother Helena as her primary caregiver for a facial feminization surgery. With maternal gestures, Helena cares for Abril with the same gaze she had when her daughter was little.

This moving documentary immerses us in Abril’s daily life at a crucial moment in her transition, as she is accompanied by her mother, Helena, through a decisive phase. It confronts us directly with striking images of her facial feminisation surgery, as well as the subsequent recovery period, taking us out of our comfort zone. Sensitive and carefully crafted, the film reveals a deep bond of love and trust within a truly welcoming family. (Catherine Boutaud)
