Q&A with director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén and star Wendy Chinchilla Araya following the 7:20pm shows on Friday, July 1 moderated by critic Jennifer Merin and on Saturday, July 2 moderated by Kerensa Cadenas (editorial director of entertainment at Thrillist) and on Sunday, July 3 following the 4:50pm show with director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén and moderated by critic Alissa Wilkinson.

In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother.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.
