Matías Lucchesi : 2014
Natural Sciences
Lila is growing up in a remote boarding school located high up in a sparse mountainous landscape. She has just turned twelve and is determined to leave and find her father. But she doesn't even know his name, and her embittered mother refuses to talk about him. All Lila has is a rusted company plaque from a weather-beaten antenna mast that her father is supposed to have once erected. One bitterly cold day Lila tries to slip away on horseback. This brings the girl's inner torment to the attention of a female teacher who sets off with Lila to search for her father. Their quest for truth leads them through inhospitable land and is more convoluted than expected. Matías Lucchesi's densely atmospheric feature debut tells a story about the depths of loneliness and how this can be overcome. His film was winner of the Generation Kplus International Jury Grand Prix when it premiered at Berlin International Film Festival 2014.
