Rita
Rita, the directorial debut of Paz Vega, is set in the summer of 1984 where seven-year-old Rita (Sofía Allepuz) and her five-year-old brother, Lolo (Alejandro Escamilla), live in a humble working-class neighbourhood with their parents. Through Rita’s eyes, we witness the oppressive heat, her father’s mood swings, and her mother’s anxiety and hushed phone conversations. In an attempt to escape her surroundings, Rita takes refuge in her imagination, searching for a way to bear the unbearable, in what will turn out to be her last summer as an innocent child.
