International Feature Film Competition
An inner transformation marks the silent journey of Lina, a fashion professional who returns to Buenos Aires in her thirties, after a successful stay in Switzerland. The third feature written and directed by Cordoban filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler explores the story of this character, taking as its starting point a sudden impulse. She says nothing about what happened, but something has changed: silent and invisible, a past she thought she had left behind resurfaces. With an intimate and evocative tone, the film addresses some of the key questions surrounding the protagonist (who this woman is, why she does what she does, how long she has been at this crossroads) and accompanies her sentimental drift.

Milagros Mumenthaler
Milagros Mumenthaler directed four short films that were selected and awarded at numerous festivals. In 2011, she directed Abrir puertas y ventanas, her first feature film, which was selected for Cinéfondation and received several awards, including the Golden Leopard and Best Actress Leopard in Locarno, and the Golden Astor at the Mar del Plata Film Festival. Her second feature, La idea de un lago (2016), participated in Locarno, Busan, San Sebastián, and Rotterdam.
