Lucia, a reserved sixteen-year-old, joins her Catholic school’s girls’ choir, where she quickly catches the attention of the slightly older and charismatic Ana-Maria.
During a rehearsals getaway to a remote convent, Lucia finds herself drawn to an attractive restoration worker, which strains her relationship with Ana-Maria and other girls. This uncharted territory of sexual awakening forces Lucia to confront her beliefs, while navigating the disruption of the choir’s harmony.
This striking directorial debut is a fresh and nuanced portrayal of coming-of-age, brilliantly balancing sensual subtlety with the rawness of adolescence.
