GIRL POWER!
VERA Y EL PLACER DE LOS OTROS
2023 / 104 min / color
The protagonist of this bold debut from the Argentinian filmmaking team of Romina Tamburello and Federico Actis is a 17-year-old named Vera. At first glance, she’s no different from her peers, spending her time at school, at volleyball practice, and hanging out with friends. But Vera has a secret — a rather peculiar hobby. She steals keys from her real estate agent mother and then secretly and anonymously rents out an empty apartment to teenagers looking for a place to get intimate for a few hours. Meanwhile, Vera hides out in the next room, sitting quietly. She feels a sense of accomplishment and solidarity with her peers, but at the same time, listening to the sounds of lovers from behind the wall arouses her own erotic fantasies. This playful South American debut is a fresh, unabashedly spicy coming-of-age story about sexual awakening, with a great central performance from the young and talented Luciana Grasso.
