What Geni Wants: Disability, Crip Temporalities, and Nomadic Subjectivity in Mar Coll's Tots volem el millor per a ella

In Mar Coll's Tots volem el millor per a ella (2013), the life of Geni, a successful 38-year-old lawyer, comes to a halt after a car crash. Set a year after the accident, Geni feels trapped between home and clinics, suspended in a state of paralysis under the pathologizing gaze of her family and doctors seeking to restore a sense of "normalcy" without considering her own desires. While film critics and scholars have noted the protagonist's limp, her disability has remained largely undertheorized. Drawing on critical disability studies scholarship, this article examines the representation of disability in Coll's second feature-length film to demonstrate how Geni's disabled body articulates discursive, narrative, and visual possibilities that reframe disability not as a dead end but a catalyst of an agentic nomadic subjectivity. Far from functioning as a mere rhetorical device, Geni's difference offers an empowering portrayal of disability. Her limp unlocks a standpoint from where the protagonist sees her life anew, a tilted position to look awry at the world. From this vantage point, Geni retraces her past and delineates her future, defying normative spatio-temporal constructs to reassert her disabled identity through her crip walk.
