Wandering Girl

View on the Pragda STREAM site

A mesmeric journey of four half-sisters across Colombia blends the candor of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Our Little Sister with the sensuality of Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Mustang to conjure up its own language.

Twelve-year-old Ángela loses the only parent she has ever known, her father, in a motorcycle accident. Among the mourners who come to Cali for the funeral are her three half-sisters, who know each other loosely but have never met Ángela. They are all in their late twenties, all three children of different mothers, and all harbor differently shaped impressions of their footloose father. Rather than let Ángela be subsumed into the foster care system, the women close ranks around their younger sister and drive the girl cross-country to their aunt’s house.

Ángela will recognize in her half-sisters, femininity, sensuality, mysteries of pleasure, pain, the body, misfortune, and the challenge of being a woman in those lands.
