About Film

Session Times

Friday 9 April 6:30pm


This visually stunning and beautifully acted Argentinean coming of age film, is a tender portrayal of the unexpected revelations that affect two children as they become aware of their sexuality and begin the transition to adolescence. La Boyita, a little bubble-shaped caravan, has always been place of refuge, games and confessions for Jorgelina and her older sister Luciana. As Luciana enters puberty she begins to seek privacy and independence from her adoring sibling. Rather than tag along after her sister at the beach, Jorgelina decides to spend her summer holidays with her father in the country. There she develops a close friendship with Mario, a local farm boy burdened by an important secret.
