Raised in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, Ana, Patricia, and Mayela found their understanding of womanhood based on unspoken rules and implicit impositions. Now, their fearless voices incarnate in a single 65-year-old woman, who revisits a kaleidoscopic life of intertwined memories, secrets and hidden desires.
Awards: Winner - Panorama Audience Award (2024 Berlin International Film Festival); Costa Rica's Official Submission to 2025's Oscars for Best International Feature
Programmer's Note: In the deeply patriarchal society of Costa Rica, girls and women are told what to do and how to behave by men—and even by their mothers who enforce strict gender codes, including accepting guilt and shame. This delicate and imaginative work, intricately constructed as a docu-drama that straddles between creative reenactments and raw confessions of pain, is about what has been left unsaid for decades as women find the courage to revisit the past and liberate themselves for one last hurrah at an optimistic future. We are delighted to present this thought-provoking treatise on gender and sexuality from 2024's Berlinale. (Eternality Tan, Vice-Chair & Programming Director)
