As she decides whether or not to be a part of the show, she confronts her family and their versions of the events that occurred, learning more about the person her daughter was.<\/p>\n The Jury statement: Audience Award for Best Film:<\/strong> Indianara<\/em> <\/a>by Aude Chevalier-Beaumel & Marcelo Barbosa.<\/p>\n
\nWith vibrant and capitvating compositions full of female family members chit chatting and casually styling each other’s hair, Ignacio Juricic Merill\u00e1n uses hairdressing as the stage to unfold a family drama from the past. Idle talk subtly and effortlessly flows into deep and painful memories. Telenovela references serve as a mirror of as well as an attraction to a society that is still struggling to accept homosexuality. We wish that this warm, light-hearted yet deep approach will reach a big audience and that the Vision\u00e4r film festival award of best feature will help\u00a0<\/em>Enigma\u00a0on this way.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
