4 Feet High

4 Feet High

Directed by Maria Belen Poncio
2021 15 min Short Film

Synopsis

Juana is 17 years old and wants to experience her “first time”. And her wheelchair certainly isn’t going to stop her. She’s just started at a new high school in Argentina and is a teenager like any other, except for the fact that she observes the world from a height of 4 feet (one metre twenty). She soon joins the fight for sex education and becomes a spokesperson for the movement. Inspired by the experience of co-author and co-director Rosario Perazolo Masjoan, the series explores body diversity, consensual sexuality and the pride that comes with finding one’s place in the world.
