Synopsis: During the sweltering summertime of rural Spain, Sara carries an extra load of teenage agony due to the perpetual bullying from her peers. Shes also an outsider at homeher parents and little brother just dont understand herso, feelings internalized, shes often found buried in her headphones, drowning out her surroundings. One day, Saras usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious stranger in the water and an exceptionally grueling bout of abuse at the hands of three girls. But in a strange twist of fate, along the way home Sara witnesses her bloodied tormentors being kidnapped in the back of the strangers van.
In Carlota Peredas strikingly bold and ominous feature adaptation of her award-winning 2018 short film, Sara must decide whether to cooperate with the police and parents questioning about the kidnappings, or take her own, unbridled pathwhile also discovering the power of desire and belonging, and the distinction between revenge and redemption.
