Then, sitting on their bed, they dry off together, him seated behind her, carefully using a hairdryer on her hair, and at one point playfully directing its jet of warm air down the front of her panties. In this short but intimate sequence, writer-director Liliana Torres conjures worlds of easy, contented empathy between two people who know each other\u2019s bodies very well indeed, but have not grown remotely tired of one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Unbeknownst to Lola and Bruno, their bond is about to be tested by a pregnancy so unexpected that it isn\u2019t detected until 10 weeks gestation. It\u2019s worlds away from the experience of Lola\u2019s friend Judit (Ruth Llopis), who is coincidentally trying to conceive via IVF, and is caught in a treadmill of hormones and the torture of the so-called two-week wait, as she prays that embryo implantation has been successful. Naturally, there\u2019s a horrible irony to Lola\u2019s situation, as she keeps tactfully quiet about having accidentally attained her friend\u2019s fondest desire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    What the film does so well is to bring nuance to Lola\u2019s situation. She isn\u2019t portrayed as the kind of sleek careerist or hard-living hot mess that is usually the sort to have their world turned upside-down by a surprise pregnancy in Hollywood films. She is a warm, well-adjusted, capable adult, working as an art professor, h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y in her stable relationship with Bruno, and from many people\u2019s perspectives, including her abortion clinic consultant, an ideal candidate for motherhood. The clinic requires that she go away and think for three days about whether she really wants to end the pregnancy before they will help her, and it\u2019s this three-day period of time that forms the majority of the film\u2019s runtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Rodr\u00edguez Soto won a special jury award at SXSW for her performance, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. Her take on Lola is the sort of likable, naturalistic turn that makes spending time with the character incredibly easy, even during the moments where what she\u2019s going through is difficult. She maintains a sense of believable inner conflict, as the majority of signals she receives from friends and society about the value of having children clash with her longstanding sense of herself as someone who is perfectly happy to remain childfree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    One of the film\u2019s more offbeat gambits is the use of dream-like animated sequences by Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Garc\u00e9s Larrain, created in a similar style to Lola\u2019s own collage-based art, which uses magazine cut-outs in a similar style to British artist Linder Sterling\u2019s photomontages. In the animations, Lola\u2019s mental landscape is laid out, with baby iconography and relatives and friends and boyfriend all competing for attention, as versions of Lola attempt to navigate her thoughts around potential motherhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The other unusual thing about the film \u2014 and please do look away here if you would like to avoid knowing how it ends \u2014 is that Lola proceeds with the abortion, and that this is not portrayed as a miserable thing. It is undoubtedly emotional, but the focus is very much on what that choice means for Lola and her life; the emotions spool from that sense of a momentous decision taken, and what is enabled by that choice, rather than an idea of loss or negativity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This subtlety is rare and welcome. There\u2019s a strong tendency in the unexpected pregnancy subgenre to favor a surprise twist decision, however the character has initially been portrayed, to proceed with the pregnancy. This is perhaps partly due to political pressure, whether overt or ambient, from anti-abortionists, and partly due to the quirks of structured narrative storytelling, in which having a character make a decision to do something or change the status quo can feel like it makes for a more naturally appealing arc. Kudos to Torres for creating, much like her protagonist, a thoroughly engaging and warm-hearted model for resisting those <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> and formal pressures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
