Magdalena's presence and her effect on the environment stirs curiosity and fear among her family. As the past comes into focus, mother and daughter are met with the opportunity to change the future. Thankfully, Francisca Alegría's feature debut manages to be enduringly moving and hopeful instead of angry and pessimistic. This is a languidly paced art film, but it's a rare treat to watch a film that's deliberate, enigmatic, and easy to recommend. Even if you're not sure what's happening, Alegria's film never loses your focus.
