Amorosa Soledad by Victoria Galardi and Martin Carranza

But then the young hypochondriac protagonist meets a man, with whom things seem to go unexpectedly well. And at the same time her ex-boyfriend contacts her again, asking her to get together again. Her sad and fascinating world is completed by an anxious mother, worried about her looks, who keeps calling her on the phone, but seldom shows up in real life, an absent father and her best friend with whom she owns a little shop.

Soledad has to make a decision. How should she move ahead with her life? Amorosa Soledad has won prizes in numerous international film festivals. For example it was chosen as best film by the Signis Jury at the Festival de Cine Larutud in Ecuador. The plot of the film isn’t particularly strong. It plays with clichés and presents Soledad as a silly girl who believes her boyfriend has to be the perfect man. As a result of that she doesn’t see what she is throwing away.
