Itsaso Arana will compete at the Karlovy Vary with his directorial debut, “The girls are fine”

The Navarran actress, screenwriter and director Itsaso Arana (Tafalla, 1985) will compete for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary film festival, which is held from June 30 to July 8, where she presents the intimate drama “The girls are fine “, her debut as a director.

This first film by Arana, actually a summer tale, is a “light film dotted with sophisticated dialogues,” said Karel Och, the festival’s program director, today in Prague, presenting the eleven feature films in the Main Section.

The film recounts the meeting of a group of women who meet during a summer week, in an old 17th century mill located in Nistal de la Vega (León), to rehearse a play, an occasion that serves to talk about everything : friendship, acting, love, orphanhood and death.

In Karlovy Vary this year the Crystal Globe will be awarded to New Zealand actor Russell Crowe for his extraordinary artistic contribution to the world of cinematography.
