Caprichosas

CAPRICHOSAS translated from Spanish means “to act tenaciously, on a whim, without reason.” Rosie, the protagonist faces the loss of her mother and seems to impulsively end her marriage. She seeks comfort in her aunt Mayo, who is herself dealing with her own grief. The film highlights the complexities of family dynamics and the cultural divide between generations.

The root of the film is a meditation on the impact of loss—those who raised us, those who loved us and even those who leave us. These losses shift the direction of our lives and can be like death itself and it is this paternal-familial struggle that the film explores
