After Lucía

After her mother’s death, Alejandra moves with her father to a new city, hoping for a fresh start. But at her new school she finds herself at the center of a nightmare: an intimate video of her is leaked among the students, and the humiliation grows day by day. While her father fails to notice her distress, she is left alone to face the cruelty and silence surrounding her. With his restrained style, Michel Franco delivers a powerful drama about the limits of human endurance and the failure of adults to protect the young at their most vulnerable. Winner of the top prize in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section, the film went on to receive numerous awards and widespread critical acclaim.
