Argentine director Mariano Hueter and lead actress Spain’s Itziar Ituño fielded audience questions ahead of its wider release in the coming months., which speaks to solving problems in an unconventional, indirect manner. When a psychologist is kidnapped after giving a lecture, she relies on the very theories she teaches to thwart her captors and escape further torment.
The project is produced by Buenos Aires-based production houses 16:9 Cine , Torneos and Idealismo Contenidos and marks the first feature-length film for Hueter, who comes from an reputable career in television. A young director of note, he steps comfortably outside the limits of the genre to resuscitate veiled human fears without exploiting the oft-utilized damsel in distress storyline. about women in film, working with Hueter and realizing the stirring role of Julia.
It seems to me that many times, in some films, this victimization situation of women has been somewhat abused, they’re shown as incapable of defending themselves. This is changing, but we must not forget that women continue to be great victims of the violence of an absolutely hetero-patriarchal system that we’re changing little by little, that’s a fact. You have to fight, but it’s a fact that things are still going badly for us.
I don’t know how the story would have been if the protagonist had been a man, I know how my experience of the story has been, it’s been very powerful, in fact I have worked my ass off doing it, and trying to do my best. I hope it turns out I achieved that.
Playing Julia, a woman who’s on the verge of being murdered by criminals and has to survive, putting myself in that role had never touched me until today, in fact it was one of the questions that captivated me, the challenge that it entailed. How do you interpret a woman who is beaten, tortured, who panics, who then dies of rage, who unleashes her beast, who tries to survive and use all her psychology and intellect to get out of there? That captivated me.
Esooooo
This movie will be super interesting. I am curious to see the way Julia thinks 🤔, but at the same time I don't want to see her getting hurt 🥲.
