Ruth Caudeli; 2021; Colombia; 84 min.; in Spanish with English subtitles
In this improvised drama consisting entirely of unscripted dialogue, five friends gather to celebrate the homecoming of one of their number—Marce, who vanished without a word two months ago. As the women struggle with whether to believe Marce’s explanation for her disappearance and sudden return, director Ruth Caudeli replays the dinner party, retelling the scene anew each time from a different character’s perspective. This unique structure gives each of the five segments its own “leading lady,” allowing the audience to experience how the women remember events differently and learn the secrets that each of them is keeping from the others. This is a masterful exploration of the complexity and intimacy of queer friendship and love between women.
