LA TETA ASUSTADA (THE SCARED BREAST)
Today we want to recommend a different kind of film: La teta asustada (The Scared Breast). Behind this haunting, mysterious title lies the story of a girl from the slums of Lima who finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of fears and superstitions, “the scared breast syndrome”. With few resources, a deep secret and the burden of terror that accompanies her everywhere, the main character (Fausta) has to move forward by seizing the reins of her life. It is a lovely, moving film, full of sensitive and yet surrealistic experiences, which will spirit you away to a world where other rules and other dreams reign.
