Flechas
COSMO’s firm commitment to eliminating gender violence continues with the production of a new short film: Flechas (Arrows). This year the film aims to put the spotlight on an alarming development: the increase of gender violence among adolescents.
Young actresses Paula Losada (Dancing on Glass), María Romanillos (Paradise, Queer You Are), Naira Lleó (Hierro, How to Screw It All Up) and María Morera (Libertad, Life Without Sara Amat) star in Flechas. Goya Award winner Ariadna Gil (Belle Époque, Pan's Labyrinth) completes the cast.
Gabrielle (Paula Losada), Emma (Naira Lleó), Leire (María Romanillos) and Zoe (María Morera) are four 17-year-old girls who decide to spend a night of fun, secrets and alcohol in the gymnasium of the boarding school where they study, trying to avoid being discovered by Marga (Ariadna Gil), the strict and disciplined headmistress of the school. Their conversations gradually reveal that the joy and spontaneity typical of their age conceal a terrible secret that will eventually come to light.
COSMO and La Costa present Flechas, a film directed by Imanol Ruiz de Lara from a screenplay by Gonzalo Tejedor Andrés and Ruiz de Lara himself. "Flechas is a story that talks about gender violence in adolescence, an age group that tends to see this as a problem among adults that doesn't affect them when, in fact, it is the age group where violence against women has increased the most in recent years," says Ruiz de Lara. "Also, this story is told through a different perspective because, in reality, it talks about friendship, about the relationships between young girls and how they are going to be a fundamental source of support in these cases of violence," adds the director and co-screenwriter.
