Valentina Maurel‘s feature debut, I HAVE ELECTRIC DREAMS (TENGO SUENOS ELECTRICOS) lands 3 Awards at the 75th edition of Locarno Film Festival; Best Direction Award, Best Actress Award for Daniela Marin Navarro and Best Actor Award for Reinaldo Amien Gutiérrez.

The film follows Eva, a strong-willed, restless 16-year-old girl who lives with her mother, her younger sister and their cat, but desperately wants to move in with her estranged father. Clinging onto him as he goes through a second adolescence, she balances between the tenderness and sensitivity of teenage life and the ruthlessness of the adult world.

Bathed in a richly textured imagery and soaked in raw sensitivity, I HAVE ELECTRIC DREAMS captures the thin line between love and hate, in a world where aggression and rage intertwined with the vertigo of female sexual awakening.

International Press:
