Lina from Lima

About This Movie

So, 'Lina from Lima' is an interesting piece that balances comedy with a touch of drama. It dives into this pretty poignant story of Lina, who's been away from her son for a decade, and her return to Chile to oversee a pool construction. It’s not just about the task at hand; it’s more about the emotional undercurrents and the dynamics of class and family. The pacing feels relaxed, letting you soak in the atmosphere—something you don’t see too often in contemporary films. The performances are genuine, especially from Lina as she navigates her complicated feelings. It’s got this kind of rawness that comes from practical effects and real locations, grounding the more whimsical elements. Quite distinctive in its approach, really.

Focus on the emotional journey · Interesting take on class dynamics · Great blend of humor and heart
