NATURAL SCIENCES [Ciencias naturales]

Twelve-year-old Lila will stop at nothing to find the father she's never known. After repeated attempts to escape her remote boarding school in the Sierra de Córdoba mountains, she manages to rope in her empathetic teacher through sheer persistence, and the two set off on a complicated journey of discovery. Without even knowing her father's name, Lila will have to rely on a single clue to find the truth. This debut feature by Matías Lucchesi is a sweet, sensitive coming-of-age story.
