This film records the director's coming of age celebration (sweet fifteen) when she began questioning the parameters of beauty that society had made her believe. She then broke with said stereotypes with which she has struggled all her life.

This project was born from research that seeks to explore the materiality generated by digital photography from textures and details that are not visible to the human eye.

Adriana, a Mexican filmmaker who has chronicled her life since her teenage years, embarks on a poignant journey into her past. Through intimate conversations with her mother and the use of personal archival footage, she prepares to reveal a long-buried secret—one that, after 15 years, altered the course of her life forever.
