ƒmovieMexico’s Alfonso Herrera, best known for his role as the impetuous nephew looking to usurp his drug lord uncle in “Ozark” and as a former member of the wildly popular band Rbd and its TV series “Rebelde,” has joined the cast of “Tesis sobre una domesticación,” a movie adaptation of the multi-awarded novel of trans actress-scribe Camila Sosa Villada.
Now shooting in Argentina, “Tesis…” is a co-production between Argentina’s Laura Huberman, Ramiro Pavón and Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna’s Mexico City-based La Corriente del Golfo.
“Tesis sobre una domesticación” (“Thesis on a Domestication”) relates the story of a successful trans actress (played by Sosa Villalda) and her gay lawyer husband who adopt a child, defying Argentina’s conservative society to form their own family unit. Their attempt at domestic bliss is disrupted when they visit the actress’s home town where her family resides.

La Corriente del Golfo, the production outfit founded by Mexican stars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, has taken a co-production stake in Javier Van de Couter’s “Tesis sobre una domesticación,” based on a still to be published novel by Argentine trans actress-writer Camila Sosa Villada.
In development, “Tesis sobre una domesticación” (Thesis on a Domestication) is scheduled to start production in first quarter 2023, shot in Argentina’s Buenos Aires and Córdoba.
“A dystopia far removed from the gaze with which the trans world is usually observed,” according to a producers’ statement, the film tells the story of a successful transgender actress, her husband, a brand new gay lawyer, and their adopted son, who make up a family that has gone through many tests and adaptations to be accepted as such.
The domestication from which they derive their peace will be threatened by a trip to the town where the actress’s family lives.

Buenos Aires — Mario Vargas Llosa, the great Peruvian novelist, once wrote that reality in Latin America is too compelling to ever be ignored in its fiction. Yet, as WWII raged, Jorge Luis Borges, perhaps the greatest of Argentine writers, pointedly published “Ficciones,” fantasy tales, often philosophical speculation given narrative form.
