Holy Lola
Drama
The story of a young couple, Pierre and Geraldine, and their desire for a child, which leads them on a journey of initiation to Cambodia. On their difficult and transformative adventure, they must contend with obstructive authorities and the jealousies and mistrust of a small community of would-be adoptive parents.
VIBE
This film feels like a heavy, suffocating blanket. It's a stark, unflinching look at desperation and the moral compromises people make. The atmosphere is thick with unease and the slow, grinding nature of the experience is palpable.
