HOLY WATER

Director & Producer: Octavio Guerra,

 Elisa Torres, Octavio Guerra

In a small village in Costa Rica, the residents of Nicaraguan origin forecast a great drought during the summer months. Mr. Nelson, a schoolteacher, writes a small play relating to the problems. His plan is to make the village aware of the importance of building an aqueduct. Geiner, an eleven-year-old child, believes that the spirits are the only ones that can make rain.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
