Drama

Set in the late 1960s, the film explores the issues of immigration, community values and family devotion through the eyes of a young girl, Lucia, who is left behind with her grandmother while her parents emigrate to France to find work. Lucia pains to be with her family as she struggles to learn her role in the tiny, traditional village under the watchful guidance of her stern grandmother.

VIBE

A tender, sun-drenched portrait of a young girl's quiet longing and resilience. It feels like a warm, sepia-toned memory of a simpler time, filled with unspoken emotions and the gentle rhythm of village life.
