The storyline follows a city far away where women have no rights and only men rule, Dina (Catalina Rios) has an unwanted pregnancy and the fear of the consequences makes her want to run away from home. However, she cannot go without taking her younger sister, Sariri (Martina Gonzales).
The film is very good in many ways, including the script, the subject matter, and the production. However, it takes a long time to develop the scenes, which makes it difficult to follow the film, and it becomes a little tiring to watch. Other than that, everything is impeccable. The camera work is outstanding! The scenes look so natural. I could see small details, like in a scene where Sariri is in the dark cave, I could see the cave details very clearly. The background music is very well chosen and well placed. For example, in one moment of tension, the music is chilling and brings complete suspense. The character development is good too. Girls go from being isolated by men to being able to do things independently. Sariri becomes braver throughout the film. Laura Donoso, the director and screenwriter, is to be commended for excellent work. My favorite part is the scene where the sisters look at famous magazines and want to participate in a talent show; in the middle of that, one discovers that she has a different talent than the others.
The film's message is that women have to be more united and should be more recognized for the good work they do. It's a reminder that the challenges that life brings us are make us stronger and more mature. Be aware that the film shows people smoking and drinking alcoholic drinks.
I give Sariri 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. By Anna Clara B., KIDS FIRST!
