Cages (Jaulas)
This impressive directorial debut from Nicolás Pacheco is a surprising fusion of fantasy and reality; a stunning, lyrical feature with a rich cast of characters and a strong social message at its core. Tired of being abused by the man in her life, Concha (Estefanía de los Santos) flees her poor neighbourhood with her teenage daughter, Adela (Marta Gavilán). Their odyssey through the sun-soaked landscapes of Andalusia takes them towards the city where they hope a new life awaits . . . but can they really escape? [15]
Cages is nominated for the 2019 Award for Best International Feature Film.
