My chest is full of sparks

My father dies. Days later, my mother escapes to Turkey to meet her secret Facebook lover. I suggest to my mother that we communicate through video letters. My mother, who gave up singing to raise me, finds freedom for the first time away from home. The video correspondences reveal our attempts to see each other through a shaky emotional journey. Alone, in the midst of filming this movie, I realize that I want to transition gender and change my name. An extraordinary journey of self-discovery, a mother and a child who always wanted to be more.
