Watching: La Otra Mejilla

Overview

'When you're slapped, there are many ways to respond besides crying: you can slap back, you can offer the other cheek, and you can also say, "Hit, but listen."' This is the film adaptation of the visual album "La Otra Mejilla" (The Other Cheek) by Argentine singer Feli Colina, where a unique universe is created, bringing the album's emotional, theatrical, and poetic power to the screen. It follows a woman as she navigates the versions others have constructed about her until she rediscovers herself.
