I AM NEVENKA
[SOY NEVENKA]
Shortly after completing her degree in economics, 23-year-old Nevenka Fernández (Mireia Oriol) joins the city council of Ponferrada, a small Spanish city, as its financial advisor. The capable young woman relishes the opportunity to make a name for herself while helping the city’s residents — until the popular mayor, accustomed to getting what he wants, sets his lascivious eyes on her. Amidst this harassment, Nevenka takes the unprecedented step of suing the mayor, a decision that upends her life further still as the media and public scrutinize and criticize her every move. Nominated for four Goya Awards, this riveting drama from celebrated Spanish auteur Icíar Bollaín (EVEN THE RAIN, MAIXABEL) is based on the true story of a real woman whose bold, courageous fight in the early 2000s against her abuser became a rallying cry for Spanish women decades before the #MeToo movement exploded across the globe.
