Niñxs – Life Sparkles: A touching family experience about identity and self-determination
A special movie night awaits teenagers, parents, and all who love moving stories: At the DOKfilm in the Red Hall, the city of Braunschweig will show the documentary Niñxs – Life Sparkles on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The screening will begin at 19:30 and combines a shared film experience with important questions surrounding identity, friendship, courage, and belonging.
A young life story full of closeness and hope
The film follows the trans teenager Karla over a period of eight years in the Mexican city of Tepoztlán. It focuses on her development, her experiences on the way to adulthood, and the search for acceptance in a rural environment.
Open conversations between Karla and director Kani Lapuerta create a trusting atmosphere. Reality and fantasy blend into a poetic narrative that prompts reflection and is simultaneously supported by joy of life, friendship, and self-determination.
Age-appropriate classification and coming together for discussions
The event is approved for ages 12 and up and is particularly aimed at teenagers, families with older children, and people interested in queer realities and societal diversity. The film offers an intense learning experience: it strengthens empathy, encourages perspective-taking, and provides a child- and youth-friendly discussion occasion about identity and respect.
For parents, the film night serves as shared time, allowing room for questions and impressions after the movie. The screening takes place in the protected interior of the Red Hall. The 93-minute documentary will be shown in its original Spanish version with German subtitles.
