Paula

A certain kind of darkness hides in the shines of glitter that Paula and her friends wear on their faces; a sadness corrodes. Paula opens our gaze to the dense world of a pressing, complex and urgent issue. In a world where bodies are a measure of value and an object of permanent opinion, the protagonist takes us to the difficult corners she goes through, allowing us to walk with her in a loving and human way, away from the pamphlet and denunciation speeches. The intimacy with which the director invites us to be part of the world of the protagonist, the relationship with her environment and especially with her friends gives us back a freshness that leaves the space for a little light to sneak into that overwhelming race for wanting to fit in, typical of adolescence.

Paula invites us to think, to dance, to suffer and to understand a state of things that must be rethought.
