Powdered Sugar

Valeria was born in the kingdom of beetles. During the day, she looks like a human being, but after midnight, she transforms into an insect. Living a double life is very difficult, especially since her authoritarian mother controls every step.... The whole city goes crazy for her mother's croissants, but Valeria does not care about the success of the bakery — she only dreams of escape.
A story told with great compassion and belief in humanity, even if it is half insect.
A tender social parable at the intersection of psychology and surrealism, which speaks of separation from parents, narcissism, eating disorders, and sisterhood. Full of love, at times frightening, captivating, and deeply rooted in physicality, this urban fairy tale speaks directly to the subconscious, never letting go for a minute, and offers an unexpected catharsis.
