CGiii Comment

Inexperienced filmmakers make the same mistake over and over again. They tell rather than show.

Spanish films tend to be dialogue-driven - this is no exception - only here, the dialogue is not exactly gripping...neither are the production values.

The(ir) Blurb...

Existen silencios que gritan, que sienten, que callan, que reivindican...

“A pesar de mí” es un intenso cortometraje de temática lésbica que a través de los conflictos de sus personajes nos sumerge en nuestras propias contradicciones y deseos, nos obliga a preguntar y a esperar con paciencia la respuesta, a olvidar para recordar quiénes somos.
El peso de un secreto, la autoafirmación femenina, una trama oculta.

Una historia que se debate e indaga entre lo real y lo ficticio, en los entresijos de la superficialidad, en lo vulnerable de lo externo.
