Casa Nem, a shelter for trans sex workers in Rio de Janeiro, stands as both a home and a site of resistance amidst Brazil’s increasingly oppressive political climate. The documentary centers on the eviction process of this house by local authorities, led by trans activist Indianara Siqueira, and follows her bold response—occupying a nearby colonial mansion to force negotiations. This act is not only a fight for housing rights, but also a radical challenge to visibility, solidarity, and the question of who truly belongs in public space. Your Mother’s Comfort traces the pursuit of identity, belonging, and hope on both personal and collective levels.
