In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother. Her uncanny affinity for creatures large and small allows Clara to find solace in the natural world around her. Tension builds within the family as Clara’s younger niece approaches her quinceañera, igniting a sexual and mystical awakening in Clara, and a journey to free herself from the conventions that have dominated her life.

Clara Sola is a quiet, fragile film about an introverted, spiritual girl with a physical disability going through the difficult period of discovering her own sexuality, which she cannot share with the one she desires. And the only one who knows and understands her is the viewer. The connection between man and nature is very aptly set in the unique Costa Rica. Poetics, symbolism. And an excellent acting performance by Wendy Araya.
