Alba

Ana Cristina Barragán : 2016

Alba is eleven years old and terribly shy. She has great difficulty standing up for herself among the precocious girls in her class, who talk like little adults about relationships but keep making fun of Alba with the cruelty of children. The fact that she wears a plastic corset to straighten her crooked spine and gets nosebleeds at inconvenient moments doesn't help. And then she is occasionally dumped off with her eccentric father Igor, who she never knew and of whom she is very ashamed. Very slowly and cautiously, the father and daughter get to know each other. Ana Cristina Barragán's feature debut was winner of the Lions Film Award when it premiered in the Bright Future section at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2016.
