Synopsis

Every summer, siblings Violeta and Eva travel to New Mexico to spend time with their loving but unpredictable father (René “Residente” Pérez Joglar). Over the course of four formative summers that span adolescence to early adulthood, Violeta and Eva learn to accept their father in this powerful and deeply personal directorial debut from Alessandra Lacorazza.
