Why we chose it

Older women talk about sex and freedom with humour and no taboos, in a puzzle of stories that all come to life through one actress, Sol Carballo. Berlinale audiences voted it the best film in Panorama. It’s the conversation we too rarely have with our own grandmothers.

Synopsis

Ana is sixty-eight, Patricia sixty-nine and Mayela seventy-one, and all three grew up in a Costa Rica where nobody told a girl anything about her own body. They married and fell silent for decades. Now they talk about everything, and they’re having a very good time doing it.
