Soñé Que Vivía (2021)
Santiago de Chile, 2012. When she goes back to classes at her all-girls high school, Alexandra (17) does not want to face reality: neither the failure of a year of mobilization nor her early pregnancy. Going from utopia, where politics is handled between women, to the repetitive domestic character of her home is a radical change. Alexandra sees her dreams fading away, and her self-destructive ghosts coming back to her again.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
