Quiero Saber de Ti (2020)

Gemma explores intimacy and romance while isolated at her Abuelita’s house in Guadalajara.

I was thinking why hasn’t he called, fuck this guy, not fuck this guy but where is he? I wanted to know ‘What are you doing right now that you’re not calling me like what possibly could you be doing.’ I started recording the video and thinking I’m going to send this to him and show him all these things I learned in the last four years.” - Gemma (read more)
