Encarnación

Directed by Anahi Berneri

This story of identity and independence is the second feature from director of UN AÑO SIN AMOR. Encarnación – Erni for short (Pérez) is an aging actress whose 15 minutes are behind her, yet she keeps her hand in with adverts, a self-run website, staying fit. Erni’s life in Buenos Aires is free and single by her own choice. Then she receives an invitation to her beloved niece’s 15th birthday and decides to return to her rural hometown. Ana (Juncadella) adores her glamorous aunt, but the others don’t care for Erni’s freewheelin’, slutty ways.

A brilliant and brave feature début from retired model and TV star Pérez is at the heart of ENCARNACIÓN.
