The Heiresses (Las herederas)
A classy and enthralling Paraguayan drama starring Ana Brun (winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress at Berlin International Film Festival 2018) as Chela and Margarita Irun as Chiquita, two women descended from wealthy families who have lived together for more than 30 years. Their lives enter a state of flux when their financial situation worsens, and they start to sell off their inherited possessions. When Chiquita is imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality.
