Mañana a esta hora, Lina Rodriguez, Colombia-Canada, 2016, 85', OV
Adelaida is 17 and lives with her family, Lena and Francisco. This is one of those films about adolescence in which everything seems to be in its place: a comfortable family life in a Bogotá apartment with the normal ups and downs of living together and everyday life. The friendships, loves, plans, dreams, cries, frustrations, happiness, promises and goals of a girl who is discovering adult life.
We could say that this it is a subtle and very beautiful film about what it means to grow. About balance. About building one's own identity. About family ties. About the feeling of emptiness that one sometimes unexpectedly feels. Just when Adelaida is experiencing and discovering what it is to become an adult, what it is to argue with her mother, what it is to be angry time and time again, what it is to wonder about life, precisely at that moment, tragedy strikes. And life continues. And life. Continues.
International première at the Locarno Film Festival (Switzerland) 2016.
