OFFICIAL SECTION: FEATURE FILMS
Liz en septiembre
Fina Torres, the prestigious director of the acclaimed Oriana, returns with a choral film featuring seven female characters that explores the themes of sexual diversity and death in the most natural way. Liz en septiembre tells the story of Liz, a model with a painful secret that forces her to re-examine her values and priorities in life. Every year, this contradictory, rather dry character meets up with six friends on a Caribbean beach to celebrate life. However, the party is disturbed when Eva appears; what at first appears just a game will lead Liz to question everything – who to love, how to die and who to live for. One of the key qualities of this film is its natural, uninhibited view of lesbianism in a country like Venezuela, where there is still much to do in the field of equal rights.
