Synopsis

Young Jorgelina feels estranged from her boy-crazy older sister, who has entered adolescence and doesn’t want to hang around with little kids anymore.

Our take

A warm and touching coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of a beautiful summer in the Pampas of Argentina, Julia Solomonoff’s film is an incisive look at youth, family, and inter-sexuality. Produced by no less than Almodóvar’s company El Deseo, this movie has the flavour of a farewell hug.
