Santiago Mitre : 2015
Paulina
At 28, Paulina gives up a brilliant career as a lawyer in order to dedicate herself to teaching in a depressed region in Argentina. In a rough environment, she sticks to her teaching mission and to her political engagement, accepting the sacrifice of her boyfriend and the trust of her father, a powerful local judge. Upon her arrival, she is violently attacked by a gang of young people, some of whom are her own students. Despite the trauma and the inability to understand the aggression, Paulina will strive to stand by her convictions. Santiago Mitre's second feature was winner of the Grand Prix and the FIPRESCI Prize when it premiered in competition at the Semaine de la Critique at Festival de Cannes 2015.
