Menarca

Synopsis In a village with contaminated waters, a young teenager anticipates her first period, while imagining ways to protect herself from the almost inevitable violence that awaits her. The film works the border between the spoken and the unspoken, between the on-screen and the off-screen, between monstrosity and normality, to create an atmosphere, between realism and fantasy, capable of being as close as possible to its young protagonist and to the discovery of her mutant body.
