The Girls Are Alright

Summary

Nominated for Best New Director at the recent edition of the Goya Awards, multi-hyphened director Itsaso Arana joins Bárbara Lennie, Irene Escolar, Itziar Manero, and Helena Ezquerro in a summer tale about the coexistence of four actresses and their writer who seclude themselves from the world to rehearse a play in an old mill. This is in the story of a spell. With princesses, toads, rivers, letters, and even a confused prince. During a few days of rehearsal, the actresses will get to know and measure each other through the materials presented in the play they are preparing, and they will contribute their own experiences around their characters’ themes: love, beauty, orphanhood, faith, friendship, acting, and death.
