Minerva

Minerva tells the story of a girl raised in a patriarchal, politically divided country, where her unique family is both a source of strength and a symbol of defiance. As the only child in a queer, multi-partnered family— two fathers and a mother— Minerva’ s personal freedoms stand in stark contrast to the rigid authoritarianism of public life. When a political event threatens her life, Minerva is forced to flee her homeland and seek refuge in New York City. As she begins to navigate her new, isolated life, her mother is kidnapped in Caracas and her world is turned upside down. Determined to reunite with her family, Minerva returns home, only to realize that the looming threat of losing her mother has shown her the ultimate truth: love is the only thing that truly matters.
