Synopsis
The Heiresses (Las herederas, 2018) is the debut feature by Paraguayan director Marcelo Martinessi — watch online on iFILM. Chela has never worked a day in her life. Inherited money kept the house running and the world at arm's length. Then the savings dry up and her partner Chiquita is arrested on fraud charges.
Left alone in a now-silent house at sixty, Chela starts driving wealthy elderly neighbors around as an improvised taxi service. A small, undignified beginning that cracks something open in her. The arrival of Angy — younger, more direct, electric in a way Chela hasn't experienced — complicates things further. Ana Brun took home the Silver Bear for Best Actress at Berlin 2018, the first international award of that level for Paraguayan cinema. Stream The Heiresses online on iFILM.
