Destello Bravío (Mighty Flash) - English subtitled
Highly original Spanish drama about women who try to break free from their lives. Often looks like a documentary, but with influences from surrealism and magic realism.
Isa uses a cassette recorder to record messages to herself for when she disappears or loses her memory. Cita feels trapped in a marriage in a house full of saints and virgins. María returns to the town where she was born to face her loneliness.
The women of a small rural town, suspended in time and whipped by depopulation, live between the apathy of their daily day where nothing extraordinary happens and a deep desire for liberating experiences that makes them rediscover the place where they believe they were happy or dreamed of being happy.
Ainhoa Rodríguez, Spain, 2021, 98 min. Spanish spoken, English subtitles.
With Guadalupe Gutiérrez, Carmen Valverde, Isabel María Mendoza.
