Slow-building powerful film. A 23 yo woman working in the rigidly militaristic national school becomes obsessed with one of the male students. She also has to fend off the attentions of her superior. She handles both badly.
The film ends up being a political metaphor. Set in 1982 during the period of military rule and just before the Falklands War.
Brilliantly acted. Great locations, pacing. It succeeded beautifully in drawing me in, making me feel for this character, then broadening my perspective to the larger message.
Good stuff. No commercial potential.
