Georgina

Bienvenido, a grieving widower, is unexpectedly visited by a woman he thought he had long forgotten.

Details to follow.

Most people know me by my real name, Bien, or my nickname, Miko. But before I was born, my parents had a different plan. In my mother’s womb, they prepared the name Georgina—a girl’s name, chosen with care, for the life they envisioned for me. When I came into the world with a body that didn’t fit their dream, my grandfather took charge and named me Bienvenido the Third, the next in line to his legacy. Yet, I’ve always felt that Georgina remained, quietly alive, tucked away deep within me.

Growing up, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was I the one who buried her beneath the weight of expectations? Or was it my grandfather’s authority, my mother’s quiet acceptance, or is it society that decided who I was supposed to be even before I had the chance to discover it for myself?

We live in a patriarchal capitalist society that often forces individuals into rigid roles that prioritize productivity and conformity. The fear of judgment looms large, holding us back from becoming who we are meant to be. As a young queer person, I still wrestle with the anxiety of living a life shaped by others' expectations, rather than my own. Georgina confronts this fear, speaking to the self society forces us to abandon, but also to the self we are destined to embrace.

Beyond being a deeply personal letter to myself as I navigate my transness, this film is an invitation—for all of us—to step out of the shadows of societal expectation and into the brilliance of our personal truths.
