Ni Aquí/Ni Allá is a personal documentary that centers a conversation between filmmaker Ley Comas and their mother about their gender identity.

At home, anything that went against God ́s word was an abomination. This documentary follows Ley ́s physical and psychological journey to become themself, while struggling to find a middle ground with their family.
