María doesn’t have a job or an apartment; her love life is non-existent, and she’s distanced from her family. At an interview, they ask her what kind of person she is and, after realizing she doesn’t fulfill any of the requirements needed to be considered “normal,” she decides to make a change.
Leticia Dolera’s first feature is filled with an irresistible halo of freshness and natural charm. The actress and filmmaker uses romantic comedy molds to submerge us into a universe of pop colors and a dreamy universe that hides an incisive generational portrait of the frustrations and insecurities of a series of characters who can’t seem to find their place in the world. Dolera ironically describes the clichés around personal crisis, self-help manuals and therapies, and focuses on the feelings of fragility and disappointment suffered by all those who feel they were left out of a society that doesn’t allow any exceptions or hints of weirdness filtering through its cracks. A delicious and catchy moral fable. BM
