What does transition look like from the inside? Filmed across a decade, The Way You See Me is a self-portrait of transition from the inside out, tracing a radical transformation from hyperfemininity towards a defiant masculinity. What begins as a personal experiment with gender becomes something far more consuming as body, identity and the gaze of others shift in unexpected ways. Set against the codes of beauty, class and behaviour within Mexico’s conservative upper-middle-class society, this candid documentary turns an intensely personal experience outwards, revealing how privilege and patriarchy shape not only the identities we inhabit, but the ways we police one another.
