About this movie

A poignant portrait of a trans woman confronted by a world that struggles to accept her. Tina is an undocumented Mexican-born trans woman living in New York with her beloved grandmother Eliana. Authentic and very touching, Tina’s trials illuminate the prejudices faced by a wider community in a film where all the trans characters are played by trans actors.

Couldn’t be more timely or more important to watch. The first 30 minutes is a little bit slow, but it’s a powerful story, beautifully told.

I have just finished watching The Garden Left Behind. The director, Flavio Alves, achieved something truly extraordinary. My advice: See this movie.

A breathtaking example of movie magic.The Garden Left Behind is a timely, ambitious, and complex movie, that forces you to ask questions that have no easy answers.
