Peruvian film “Las Malas Intenciones” (Bad Intentions) won Sunday the best Latin-American feature film award at the Mar de Plata International Film Festival in Argentina.
Rosario García-Montero's film beat out nine other nominees, including “El Campo” (Argentina) by Hernan Belon, “Porfirio” (Colombia) by Alejandro Landes and “El velador" (Mexico) by Natalia Almada.
According to the festival’s website, the exceptional thing about The Bad Intentions is that disturbing and at the same time innocent childhood view, when the eyes start to open in order to decipher what is going on and to try to understand it.
"Difficult for an adult, pitiless for a child. The Bad Intentions is that moment when we all stop being naive and uncover our eyes," the festival's website said.
The film is about a nine year old girl, named Cayetana de Los Heros, who fights against the world to become an adult. She lives in a beautiful middle-class home with her father and governess. Her mother is often abroad and might not even miss her.
At school she studies the period of Peru's struggle for independence. When her mother returns home from one of her trips, she is pregnant and unhappy. She does not even see her daughter.
And so Cayetana, who is convinced she will die when her younger brother is born, starts fighting alongside the heroes that made history in her country, entering an imaginary world that will teach her how to escape from solitude and the sense of abandonment to find the path that leads to the sun. Just like the heroes hidden in her surname. (Andina)
