There´ll be a flash in the village, a really mighty, mighty one and everything will change… Isa uses a cassette recorder to record messages to herself for when she disappears or loses her memory. Cita feels trapped in a marriage in a house full of saints and virgins. María returns to the town where she was born to face her loneliness. The women of a small rural town, suspended in time and whipped by depopulation, live between the apathy of their daily day where nothing extraordinary happens, and a deep desire for liberating experiences that make them rediscover the place where they believe they were happy or dreamed of being happy. A mysterious, dark and suggestive tale, with notes of magical realism and surrealism, Mighty Flash uses non-actors in its lead roles to bring honesty and authenticity to this exploration of the everyday lives of three women.
This screening is presented in partnership with CinemaAttic as part of their film season MUJERES, which presents films made by Spanish and Ibero American women celebrating the female gaze. We are delighted that director Ainhoa Rodríguez will be joining us at Filmhouse in person, providing an introduction to the film and taking part in a special Q&A.
