Film Screening: “Mamífera” (Liliana Torres, 2024)
Film in Catalan with English subtitles.
Lola’s unexpected pregnancy forces her to face desires, fears, and social pressures in a tender, humorous drama about choice, identity, and intimacy with those closest to her.
Lola and her partner Bruno are living a happy life together, when Lola unexpectedly falls pregnant. She has never wanted be to a mother, but the pregnancy news provokes her to question her own needs, desires and social expectations, and she seeks help from friends and family to decided what to do. Comedy drama, starring María Rodríguez Soto (A Thief’s Daughter, 2019) as Lola and Enric Auquer (The Teacher Who Promised the Sea, 2023) as Bruno.
“Strips away the sensationalism of a matter still filled with taboos without overlooking how deeply any experience of this kind affects one internally” (Eulàlia Iglesias, Fotogramas).
“It is narrated with simplicity, sensitivity, tenderness, and a certain humor […] it is precisely there, beyond the theme, where the most interesting and beautiful aspect of the film resides, in its physicality and sensoriality, in the subtlety and closeness with which the director manages to tell about her protagonists.” (Júlia Olmo, Valencia Plaza).
