In Oaxaca, Jazmín encounters a playful, giant doll that dares her to embark on an inner odyssey through a ‘transformation machine.’ As she moves through the city’s colorful streets, each phase rewires her thinking, challenges old habits and beliefs, and questions her life choices, bringing her closer to a newly discovered self. After completing the transformation, she prepares to return home, only to face a dilemma: how can she embrace this newfound self without compromising her quiet, comfortable, and loving family life in Vancouver?
