Synopsis

Working at a nightclub in Chengdu, a transgender Chinese woman receives an unexpected visit from her cousin, informing her that the mother she has brushed aside, has died. As the only 'son', she feels obligated to return to her birth-place for the sake of her family, even though she'll have to hide her true self from those that once shared her past.

☆ An old self you can't shake off, and the past you can't leave behind...
☆ Praised as a model of trans representation, this short has captivated audiences at over a hundred international film festivals.
☆ Chinese director Xiaoxi Xu and Spanish director Roberto F. Canuto collaborated on the final chapter of the 'Invisible Chengdu' trilogy.
