Rita

The directorial debut of Sex and Lucía star Paz Vega sensitively charts the experience of a girl and her brother in 1980s Seville as tensions rise between their mother and father. It’s a long, hot summer in Seville in 1984 and school is out for seven-year-old Rita (a spirited Sofía Allepuz) and her brother Lolo (Alejandro Escamilla). Their child’s eye view of the world is mostly focused on feeding pigeons, racing carousel horses and dreams of the beach but the angry tirades of their father José Manuel (Roberto Álamo) against their mother (Paz Vega, also making her directorial debut) frequently punctuate their happiness. Sex and Lucía star Vega sets the wide-eyed sweetness of childhood against a backdrop of the threat of domestic violence in her sensitive and powerful directorial debut.
