A feature film about intersexuality, Yo, Imposible finds ways to visualise society’s attitudes to normative gender stereotypes that highlight the emotional situation of the protagonist. Ariel doesn’t know about her body’s past and goes through the painful process of trying to obtain information and understand what happened. Although her mother and a doctor made the decision to change her body after she was born because it did not fit the typical definitions of the two intended genders, the two women are unable to talk about the subject. The film itself finds far more images than words to describe the protagonist’s process, even for the state of not speaking. It is the language of film and its effects that endeavour to comprehend the protagonist’s situation in all its cruelty. A highly topical, poignant film about the ongoing social stigmatisation of non-binary bodies, having power over one’s own body and desires beyond social constraints.
