Oscars 2025 Live updates: Red carpet, start time, how to watch

“Emilia Pérez” is not exactly popular in Mexico where it was largely hit with indifference or negativity. Instead, Mexico has collected around “Johanne Sacreblu”, “ A protest parody of the trans filmmaker Camila D. Aurora.

The short film has accumulated more than 3 million YouTube views and was even shown in cinemas with an event on the red carpet.

Aurora was curious about “Emilia Perez”, but since the film premiered very late in the award line season in Mexico, she had to watch him (first). She didn't like it at all and found his trans- and Mexican representation derogatory and problematic.

So she went with a pitch to Tikk: The transbeer of two millionaires of French families, Johanne Sacreblu and Agtugo Ratatouille (performed by Aurora and the Yeylán Torres), fall in love in the middle of their struggle to decide whether the croissant or the ultimate French bread is.

Your supporters suggested collecting them. Aurora collected around 1,700 US dollars (35,000 Mexican pesos). She composed and took the songs for the 28-minute musical, which had its premiere on the same weekend as “Emilia Perez” in Mexico. It made 1 million spectators in just three days.

“We were the ant that opposed the giant, it is very incredible,” Aurora told The Associated Press. “I did activism and my activism started the moment I gathered 50 people with TikK videos, who came together to work for two or three days, for fun, just to laugh at this film, which made her angry just a few days ago.”

The film collected twice its original budget. It donated part of the profits to two organizations, the feminist group Las Hijas de Mayahuel, which is committed to an appreciated menstrual health and offers both medical care and the Grupo Nacional de Búsqueda, a collective of organizations of disappeared people in Mexico.

And soon they expect a second part.
