In this film, presented in the Biennale College section of the 2021 Venice Film Festival, the director portrays the family as a tangle of ever-changing roles. On her seventieth birthday, Agatha wakes up in the body of an eight-year-old girl. Elisa, her 38-year-old independent daughter, is forced to return home to take care of her mother, while Leonidas, her 36-year-old son—who until then remained childlike and symbiotically attached to his mother—suddenly experiences a long-suppressed personal and sexual awakening. Brought together by this unexpected event, the two very different siblings are forced to find new ways of communicating in order to live under the same roof.
OUR COLLABORATION
For this client, I translated and adapted the subtitles from Argentine Spanish into Italian. It was a valuable opportunity to explore this variety of Spanish in depth, and specifically to expand my knowledge of a language of the heart—more emotional and abstract.
