Un Pequeño Corte
Directed by Mariana Serrano
United States | 14 minutes | 2021
When six-year-old Elizabeth makes an image-altering decision, she is left to face the backlash from culturally-imposing beauty standards. Set in the all-too beauty-centric city of Miami, Elizabeth grapples between two cultures as she seeks her own identity.
