It is a film that expertly tackles the inherent risks of its plot to deliver a film as full of irreverence and sensuality as it is of artistic sensitivity. [Full review in Spanish]

Formally and dramatically, the movie has poise, which only strengthens its depiction of girls thrown off balance by growing up.

The connection between the Christian promise of eternal life and the origins of life is subversively inscribed in the visual script from the very first minutes. [Full review in Spanish]

A coming-of-age story that moves between the pulse of the physical and the gravity of the sacred. [Full review in Spanish]

It follows 16-year-old Lucia, who joins her Catholic school choir and travels to a rural convent, where faith, discipline, and awakening desire begin to collide....The film unfolds as an intimate coming-of-age story, focusing more on inner conflict than external drama. A single "wrong note" becomes the emotional climax, symbolizing Lucia’s quiet rebellion.....Minimal dialogue and rich symbolism explore themes of identity, guilt, and the tension between belief and bodily autonomy.....Its slow pacing and open ending may test some viewers, but the psychological depth feels honest and mature....Subtle, poetic, and quietly bold, it’s less about defiance and more about self-discovery....
