Introduction

In the 2010s, Carlita Antonella Rodríguez takes up a role long forbidden to women in the superstitious environment of Patagonia. Lux Pascal, in her debut feature film role, boldly portrays Carlita’s fight for recognition and respect, as she navigates prejudice, family bonds and economic survival. It’s a boldly moving testament to courage, visibility and the right to belong.
