Lots of us are turning a nasty shade of green as we watch those A-list Hollywood stars working the red carpet in those fabulous frocks. It’s award and festival season again, which means that the movies with most nominations are showing at our local cinemas. One of these movies is Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, who has already won a Golden Globe for her performance.

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.
