About this event

This programme shines a spotlight on powerful stories of resilience, identity, and humanity, all told through the lens of female directors.
Join us on this cinematic journey as we explore the voices and visions of contemporary Hispanic filmmakers.
Eight screening: Cerdita [Piggy] by Carlota Pereda.
Synopsis:
During the sweltering summertime of rural Spain, Sara carries an extra load of teenage agony due to the perpetual bullying from her peers. She´s also an outsider at home —her parents and little brother just don´t understand her— so, feelings internalized, she´s often found buried in her headphones, drowning out her surroundings. One day, Sara´s usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious stranger in the water and an exceptionally grueling bout of abuse at the hands of three girls. But, in a strange twist of fate, along the way home Sara witnesses her bloodied tormentors being kidnapped in the back of the stranger´s van.
