Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

An aging spinster’s life is turned upside down by the revelation that she’s actually a man—and life doesn’t get any easier after transitioning. Nominated for an Oscar® but mostly forgotten in America since, MY DEAREST SEÑORITA is one of the earliest films to explore intersexuality (and certainly the only one made under a military dictatorship).
