Lina from Lima
- 2PM
This award-winning first feature film by writer-director María Paz González is a sexy—and heartfelt—window into Lina’s life as a domestic worker and immigrant in Chile. As Lina grows close to the young girl she watches during the day, her nights are filled with raunchy one-night stands and sexual liberation. As her autonomy blossoms, her fantasies grow into quixotic musical numbers complete with Christian iconography, synchronized swimming, and semi-naked men. Featuring the talented Magaly Solier in the lead role, Lina from Lima cements González as a rising voice in international cinema.
