Carmen & Lola
Forbidden love in a close-knit Roma community is explored in this authentic and touching feature debut from Arantxa Echevarria.
Please note that this film is in Spanish, with Dutch subtitles.
Carmen lives in a gypsy community in the suburbs of Madrid. Like every other woman she has ever met, she is destined to live a life that is repeated generation after generation: getting married and raising as many children as possible. But one day she meets Lola, an uncommon gypsy who dreams about going to university, draws bird graffiti and likes girls. Carmen quickly develops a complicity with Lola and discovers a world that, inevitably, leads them to be rejected by their families.
Arantxa Echevarria, Spain, 2018, 103 min. Spanish spoken, Dutch subtitles.
