Destello Bravío

62nd TIFF: Greek Premiere

The women of a small rural town, suspended in time and whipped by depopulation, live between the apathy of their daily day where nothing extraordinary happens and a deep desire for liberating experiences that makes them rediscover the place where they believe they were happy or dreamed of being happy. dark and suggestive story of personal search that moves between (magical) realism and fantasy, borrowing documentary methods and codes of suspense, in order to highlight the ways in which smaller societies build their conventions, yet allowing the collective unconscious to ride towards unexploded territories.
