Maite Aguilar, Miranda de la Serna, María Ucedo, Walter Jakob,

María Zanetti’s vivid debut feature, inspired by her own family’s experience, tells the story of Lola, a sixteen-year-old who dreams of escaping her challenging homelife. Lola struggles with school and driving lessons, but the mental illness of older sister Julieta presents greater challenges. Julieta consumes their parents’ time and money, leaving Lola often ignored, at constant odds with her mother, and dreaming of a different life. Maite Aguilar makes an indelible screen debut as a young woman yearning for refuge and security in this complex drama that drifts between a teen’s inherent need to embark on her own path and the difficulties her parents face in meeting the disparate needs of their daughters. Striking cinematography further enhances this vibrant coming-of-age tale, which won the Best Director and Best Screenplay prizes at Cine Ceará—Ibero-American Film Festival.
