The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$110. The cheapest seat is at PALACE ifc in Central, HK$110. 94 minutes.

What it is about

At 18, Claudia doesn't want to be a hero. Her mother's illness erupts like a silent storm, forcing a redefinition of roles in a family long estranged. Torn between the duty to care for her mother and the desire to live like any other girl her age, Claudia searches for a way to navigate this new reality, which will transform the bonds between the entire family.

What to expect

Marta Matute's Spanish drama runs a tight 94 minutes and screens as part of SFF2026, so you're catching it on the festival schedule — not a wide release. Claudia is 18, her mother is ill, and the household has to renegotiate who looks after whom. The movie tracks that shift without raising its voice: it's observational, built around the friction between duty and the ordinary teenage life Claudia wants, including a lesbian relationship that sits naturally inside the story rather than being announced. Spanish dialogue, English subtitles. The pace is slow and character-driven; younger kids will drift off.
