¡NAIlS!
an Animated Short Film written and directed by Eliana Pipes
When Catalina develops a crush on a girl in her Quinceañera court her fingernails grow at a superhuman pace — a blessing in Black and Latina beauty culture, but a curse for a lesbian (at first glance). A whimsical, intersectional, and uplifting coming-of-age story.
