“Spellbinding. A strange and mesmerizing tale of mysticism
and sexual awakening.”
CLARA SOLA
A film by Nathalie Álvarez Mesén
(Costa Rica/Sweden, 2021, 108 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother.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.
