MSPIFF at Rochester: Sat, 4/18 at 9:15pm
Cristián Jiménez’s (Bonsai, MSPIFF 2011) multigenerational family portrait peels back the layers of dysfunction with a balance of humor and tension.
Sofia is an unemployed actor who decides its time for a reset and takes a “disconnection vow”—not only from technology but also her husband and two kids. Meanwhile, her sister moves back from Paris surrounded by chaos, and her father decides to leave her mother. But that’s only the beginning of the familial mayhem that spoils Sophia’s attempt for peace and simplification.
