Filming over one summer at an all-female family gathering in an old house in Argentina, Julia Pesce invites us inside a secret society. Unfolding with literary quietude, the film opens hidden doorways into the hearts and minds of each individual woman — the pastoral beauty of the setting reverberating with the natural rhythms of the women’s own bodies. We encounter these women in some of their most intimate moments, gently exploring the pains and joys of mind, body, and spirit. Maintaining a frank and loving gaze, Pesce celebrates what it is to be female in a family of lavish and exuberant women. (PC)
