Statement:


Realities and Wishes
Cynthia comes from a town bathed by the sensuality of the Papaloapan River. Day by day, she lives between reality and desire. She coexists intensely with her family and friends; she dreams, laughs and suffers a life of poverty. She dresses up, puts on make up, she carefully builds herself up her, re-invents her body to be liked. Finally her femininity surpasses the feminine. Her desire is to hide the man, to erase him. To achieve in her reality, a woman’s body.
