Un Secreto de Esperanza (PG)
Dir: Leopoldo Laborde
(Mexico, 2002. 128 mins)
Subtitled: original language Spanish
Beloved Mexican screen legend Katy Jurado lights up the screen one last time in her final film, the story of a special friendship that develops in 80s Mexico City between a solitary elderly woman and Jorge, a rebellious teen. Through the use of flashbacks, Jorge, now an adult, learns one last beautiful mystery about the person who played such an important role in his youth. Could it be that the old friend who taught him so much about life was none other than Esperanza Malagon Prieto, who in 1939 was the first Latin-American woman to win a Nobel Prize in Literature? This fascinating film won three awards, including the Audience Award, at the 2003 Trieste Festival of Latin American Cinema.
