    Carmen lives in a Romani community on the outskirts of Madrid. Like all the women she knows, she is destined to follow a traditional path: to marry young and raise children. But her life changes when she meets Lola, a different kind of Romani girl who dreams of going to university, draws graffiti of birds, and embraces her attraction to women. A bond grows between them and gradually turns into love. However, in a community deeply attached to its traditions, their relationship becomes a taboo that exposes them to rejection by their families and those around them.

In this new environment, he feels compelled to go back into the closet — to hide an essential part of himself that he believed he had long since accepted.

  • Llueve sobre Babel

    Cinema Galeries Galerie de la Reine 26, Brussels, Belgium

    #English subtitles
    In the mythical bar Babel, a place of both life and death, lost souls and the living in search of meaning cross paths. Dante, whose contract with La Flaca — the personification of Death — is coming due, tries to recover his memory while helping a ghost, Monet, reclaim his body before it disintegrates. Meanwhile, Jacob, the son of an Orthodox pastor, hides from his family his desire to become a drag queen. Uma, a mysterious Romani woman, makes a risky wager with La Flaca: to save her dying daughter. All of this unfolds under the omniscient gaze of the Boticario and Erato, who are not what they seem — narrators between heaven and the abyss.
