- In-Cinema Only
CIFF’s Global Perspectives Series is a monthly global cinema series running November 2021 - April 2022 in cinema.
CLARA SOLA screens at Globe Cinema January 19.
In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara (Wendy Chinchilla Araya) endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother. Her uncanny affinity for creatures large and small allows Clara to find solace in the natural world around her. Tension builds within the family as Clara’s younger niece approaches her quinceañera, igniting a sexual and mystical awakening in Clara, and a journey to free herself from the conventions that have dominated her life.
This deeply evocative debut feature from director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén world premiered at Cannes Directors Fortnight and has been selected as Costa Rica's submission to the Academy Awards® for Best International Feature.
Rated 14A
