Synopsis

Set in the countryside of Cuba, a domineering father exerts a strong influence over his family. However, when he suddenly disappears, his 13 year old daughter Lili is distraught. Attempting to bring him back, she uses a spiritual ritual and uncovers an uncomfortable truth.

Program Note

There is a family with an adolescent daughter, a shoemaker dad and stay at home mother. The way in which oppressive patriarchate works for mother and daughter is quite different. Comparing to the daughter is adjusted to oppression, the mother who is suffering directly is trying to escaped from here. It is appalling to see what is left in the place where Dad nally disappeared. Each actor plays a big part in the small casting. Especially, the daughter’s performance is astonishing. The rst Cuban psychological thriller. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
