Clara Sola – Watch the trailer for Nathalie Álvarez Mesén’s Carrie-esque debut

Directed by Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, the film stars Wendy Chinchilla Araya, Flor María Vargas Chavez, Ana Julia Porras Espinoza and Daniel Castañeda Rincón.

In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara (Araya) endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother (Chavez).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

Clara Sola will debut at the IFC Center in NYC on 1st July 2022.
