Sorry- another trailer video in Spanish (I can’t find a subtitled one)
I really enjoyed this movie. Set in 1976, as Spain is making its transition to democracy after Franco’s death, sixteen year old Bea joins a collective of young feminist women working to secure women’s rights to an abortion. She lives with her mother, who works as a cleaner/housekeeper for a wealthy family, and when she accompanies her mother to assist her, she meets Maider, the granddaughter of the family, who is somewhat older than Bea, and with problems of her own. She falls in love with her and plans to go away with her, but she is torn by her love for her mother, who will be left alone if she leaves. There are so many layers to this film: Bea’s growing realization of her attraction to women; the political situation of the late 1970s in Spain; the struggle for legal abortion and its effects on women who cannot access one; courage; and the mother-daughter relationship.
