Leave the Doll in the Car (2024)

An essay film depicting its director's childhood and adolescence based on his old photos. Narrated in the first person, these images are modified through manual interventions. The documentary debates and reflects on these two phases of his life that he considers to have been "amputated" when talking about LGBTQIAP+ people. Evoking his memories, the director talks about these personal issues as a form of research on his past to understand the present. The director is motivated by the realization that some feelings are shared among LGBTQIAP+ people, such as estrangement, insecurity, anxiety, depression, shyness, anger, low self-esteem, syndromes, phobias, and anguish.
