Unicornios

After working in the short and feature docus (2017’s Thy Father’s Chair), Spanish filmmaker Àlex Lora moved into fiction feature for the first time on a project produced by Inicia Films’ Valerie Delpierre (Summer 1993). Greta Fernández toplines Unicornios – which digs into love, relationships and work challenges.

Gist: Isa is intelligent, beautiful, young and spontaneous. She is a feminist and polyamorous who refuses to commit.

Release Date/Prediction: We think this might shore up in Venice and the San Sebastian Film Festival is an obvious possibility.
