In the late 1980s, a household made up of seven women from different generations and ideologies struggles to save the house in which they live and which are about to lose due to an outstanding debt. Each one of them has their own personal issues, but these are appropriately set aside when they gather together in their small home. We see the story through the eyes of the youngest, 8-year-old Roberta (Aurora Davila), as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that impacts the rest of the family. Written and directed by Mexican actress and filmmaker Mayra Hermosillo in her feature film debut, the film is based on her own childhood and upbringing. Hermosillo: “It’s a story about growing up too soon, about how shame and love intertwine, and how identity is formed when you live outside the norm.” A beautiful and moving story of a group of women being unconditional in their love and support for each other in good times and bad. This glimpse into their personalities lingers long after the film has ended… Note: Winner of the Audience Award at the Morelia International Film Festival 2025.
