Libertad

15-year-old Nora’s vacation at the family cottage is ordinary and boring. Nora’s life suddenly comes alive with the arrival of Rosana’s daughter Libertad, who works at the cottage. The two teenage girls embark on a series of adventures together that are guiding them towards adolescence. However, there are traces of tension between them, as a result of the invisible wall of social class difference, as well as Libertad’s personal trauma. Experienced screenwriter Clara Roquet sensitively addresses the summer friendship of two young girls in her long-awaited debut film. Meanwhile, she does not neglect to turn her camera around the adult world and question domestic labor based on the migrant workforce.
