RITA
Guatemalan maestro Jayro Bustamante (IXCANUL, LA LLORONA) returns with a grim fairy tale, another brilliant examination of his country's tumultuous history told through a fantastical genre lens. After escaping a brutal home life, 13-year-old Rita (Giuliana Santa Cruz) is apprehended and sent to a state-run orphanage where girls are divided into gangs of mythical creatures. Rita is sent to bunk with the angels and quickly discovers that the institution is twisted, filled with corrupt guards intent on making their lives miserable. Refusing to accept the hellish conditions, the girls take fate into their own hands and start a revolution — with deadly consequences. Official Selection, 2024 Fantasia Film Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Jayro Bustamante; PROD Jonathan King, Gustavo Matheu. Guatemala, 2024, color, 107 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED
