Nuestras Cartas
Synopsis
Faced with the possibility of electing a president with a past of sexual harassment, four Costa Rican filmmakers come together to produce a series of film letters in which they express their discontent, their fears, and their experiences, but at the same time, the invincible power of union that characterizes women in dark times. Each card expresses a different perspective on the experience of women in this patriarchal society.
