SPOTLIGHT ON CANNES 2021: DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT — CLARA SOLA —Nathalie Álvarez Mesén

CLARA SOLA

"In a remote village in Costa Rica, Clara, a withdrawn 40-year-old woman, experiences a sexual and mystical awakening as she begins a journey to free herself from the repressive religious and social conventions which have dominated her life."

"Costa Rican-Swedish screenwriter/director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén started her career in physical theater in Costa Rica before graduating from the Stockholm University of the Arts and Columbia University’s Film Program. She was an alumna of the Berlinale Talents, TIFF Filmmaker Lab and NYFF Artist Academy. Her shorts have screened at many film festivals. She co-wrote Entre tú y milagros, winner of the Orizzonti Award for Best Short. She is currently developing her second feature film."
