    The Heiresses

    Aug 01, 2018 1 minute
    HANNAH WOODHEAD

    Directed by MARCELO MARTINESSI

    Starring ANA BRUN, MARGARITA IRÚN, ANA IVANOVA

    Released 10 AUGUST

    When it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier in 2018, a quiet buzz enveloped Marcelo Martinessi’s debut. This seems fitting, given that everything about the film is similarly understated, including Ana Brun’s bittersweet lead performance as Chela, which won her the Silver Bear for Best Actress. A relationship drama that’s light on drama, follows two ailing beneficiaries in Asunción, Paraguay, who are completely devoted to each other. Martinessi’s decision to focus on an older female character in a same-sex relationship is pleasingly nuanced – their relationship is tender and matter-of-fact.
