María (And Everybody Else)

Maria lost her mother when she was only 15 and has cared for her father and her siblings ever since. Resulting from this, Maria’s world comes crashing down around her when her father suddenly falls for his nurse and announces that they are to be married. Now 35, Maria is faced with a new reality and has to find a new direction. Nely Reguera’s feature debut is a charming tale of navigating through adulthood and trying to find your place in the world.
