Berlinale 2018. Our jury awarded the Critics Prize to the Paraguayan film “The Heiresses” (Las Herederas) by Marcelo Martinessi (Paraguay, 2018, 95 min, shown in the International Competition). Motivation: “For it’s depection of a hidden and forbidden subject: female homosexuality in Paraguayan society. The use of subjective camera helps us to enter the gloomy universe of the two aging protagonists. A very brilliant idea used in a debut film.”
