La virgen roja (The Red Virgin), 2024 | Directed by Paula OrtizBased on actual events in 1930s Spain, this film centers on the young prodigy Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira, who was conceived and raised by her mother, Aurora, as a eugenicist experiment to create the prototypical woman of the future. Under the grip of the obsessive and controlling Aurora, the brilliant Hildegart becomes conversant in multiple languages and a published authority on female sexuality while still a teenager. At 18, longing for freedom, she meets someone who helps her explore a new emotional world and break away from her mother, who will stop at nothing to prevent Hildegart from leaving her. "La Virgen Roja" was nominated for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress and received the award for Best Art Direction at the 39th Goya Awards.
