The Girl Who Was Cyrano
by Guille Baldo, tr. LuisDa Molina Rueda
Filmed Production: DMS Studio at Bates College
Valentina travels back to her childhood. Her best friend Mateo is moving out of the neighborhood, which saddens Valentina. A new girl called Roxie moves into town. Valentina and Roxie become inseparable. Valentina writes letters to her new friend Roxie under a boy's pen name. The exchange of letters grows as she is faced with emotions she can't understand. Inspired by Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, Guille Baldo reworks the classic into telling a queer love story for children.
