Agua Fría
A couple holidaying on the coast of Costa Rica encounter a seven-year-old girl who tells them she has run away from her abusive family.
This anecdote offers director Paz Fabrega the minimal narrative spine to drive this incredibly powerful drama.
Slow-paced narration, convincing amateur actors and unique camera work result in a mesmerising film that infuses an atmosphere of mystery into to the most mundane affairs.
