SPA24 The Girls at the Station
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Las chicas de la estación
The sixth feature from talented director Juana Macías (also directs Just One Small Favour), written by Isa Sanchez (The Ministry of Time), The Girls at the Station is a powerful drama inspired by real events.
Jara, Alex and Miranda are three girls coming of age who grew up in a juvenile detention centre, with no knowledge of unconditional love. Jara’s birthday is coming up and the three of them want to celebrate by going to the concert of their favourite performer, but they can’t afford the tickets.
So, they meet up with an older girl and former resident of the centre who offers them an indecent proposal. But before they know it, they find themselves sliding deeper into the underbelly of Mallorca.
Starring Julieta Tobío, Salua Hadra and María Steelman in their first acting roles, this raw story set in the universe of youth culture highlights the resilience of the central characters, their daily fight against difficult circumstances and ultimately, to find a sense of empowerment.
