“A joyous ode to family that’s both touching and playful.””
VANILLA
A film by Mayra Hermosillo
(Mexico, 2025, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
In the late eighties, eight-year-old Roberta lives in a house unlike any other in Northern Mexico—shared by seven formidable women, spanning generations and brimming with personality, conflict, tenderness, and laughter. As mounting debts threaten to take away the only home she has ever known, Roberta watches from her child’s perspective as her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin, and lifelong family friend struggle to hold their world together. A poignant tribute to the women who shape us, the semi-autobiographical debut feature by actor-director Mayra Hermosillo unfolds as a rich coming-of-age drama exploring identity, belonging, and resilience within an unconventional family bound by love and economic uncertainty.
