Created over a period of 16 years, Mi Papa y Yo, My Father and I is a personal and intimate short film in which Luisé documented hir father Manuel's visits to Toronto following hir move to Canada. Through these visits and the use of family archival footage, the filmmaker explores a variety of themes such as time, space, migration, family, home, queerness, and loss. Coping with the experience of being in a new country and missing hir home and family in Mexico, Luisé looks forward to Manuel’s first visit. As they travel to explore Canadian landmarks together, we see the complex relationship that child and father have. After some years pass, Manuel visits a second time. Luisé takes the opportunity to resolve some issues with hir father and learn more about him and their family through frank and sometimes tense discussions. Luisé discovers hir father’s point of view about hir queerness and develops a closer relationship with hir father. They share a candid conversation about life as a Mexican immigrant in Canada and the politics of living in another country. In Manuel’s last visit to Canada, Luisé documented hir father’s emotional, vulnerable, and nostalgic storytelling where he shares memories about his parents, childhood, and life in Mexico. Throughout the film, we see Manuel aging and he can no longer travel because of illness; it is now Luisé’s turn to visit hir father in Mexico in what might be their final visit.
