CGiii Comment
17-year-old Vera divides her days between volleyball and school and has a good time with friends like an average teenager. She appears to be a perfect daughter who never gets into trouble. But she has a secret hobby: she anonymously rents out an empty apartment to teenagers looking for a place to have sex. She steals the keys from her distracted mother (who manages different properties) and organises everything. The teenagers come and go, using the apartment for a few uninterrupted hours making Vera the saviour of all their needs. With that she unlocks a new world for herself – playing invisible, Vera stays behind the closed door; her own sexual desires unfolding as she listens to other people’s pleasure.
In this funny, energetic and a bit naughty debut, we explore the point of view of a 17-year-old girl who is coming of age and reaches sexual awakening which is a great twist to the typical male teenager finding an output for his sexual needs. Something absolutely unpredictable and new from Argentina, pointing out fresh voices to keep an eye on. A film that is memorable and will unlock every viewer’s internal teenager and lighten your mood.
