CORINA
A film by Urzula Barba Hopfner
(Mexico, 2024, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
New York premiere!
Set in her hometown of Guadalajara during the early aughts, the auspicious and quirky debut by Úrzula Barba Hopfner tells the story of Corina, a a young woman who has rarely left her home for the past 20 years except to work at a local publishing house. She finds herself in crisis after making a grave mistake in the final installment of the company’s most famous book saga. To save her job—and the company itself—she must face her fears and, with Carlos’s help, set off on a journey to track down a mysterious writer. Starring the charming Naian González Norvind (New Order) in the title role and Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso) in a supporting role, Corina is an uplifting and endearing fable, reminiscent of Amélie, about stepping beyond one’s comfort zone to embrace the unknown.
