Feb 25, 7pm - Cinema Tucson presents OCA
(Karla Badillo, Mexico/Argentina, 2025, 109 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Winner of the Silver Hugo Award in the New Directors Competition at the Chicago International Film Festival, Oca is the atmospheric and mystical debut feature by Karla Badillo, telling the story of Rafaela, a young nun from a dwindling congregation who embarks on a pilgrimage after the arrival of a new archbishop. Along the way, she encounters travelers from diverse walks of life, and her journey becomes a lyrical and often poignant meditation on faith, doubt, and resilience in a world shaped by both spiritual and material forces. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast of professional actors—including Natalia Solián (Huesera: The Bone Woman), Cecilia Suárez (The House of Flowers), and Raúl Briones (La Cocina)—alongside non-professional performers, the film offers a quietly critical lens on devotion and institutional life, reimagining the spiritual cinema of Luis Buñuel through a contemporary, distinctly female perspective and tracing the winding path between belief, destiny, and self-discovery. Q&A with the director follows the film.
