Carmen & Lola

Carmen y Lola

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Living in a different time of the gypsies, two teenage girls learn and teach us how to smile: Carmen sells furniture in a flea market in Madrid and Lola is a teenage greengrocer. Despite their conservative environment of the Roma community where they grow up, they fall in love and thus start to plan their future together, counting οn affirmative action against the denial of a society that discards difference. A passionate film that toys with all audience’s (progressive or conservative) biases on gender and culture, rendering itself a necessary source of inspiration for all generations to come.
