“Dedicated to all people who have the courage to be different in order to be themselves”, says the opening credits of De eso no se habla by María Luisa Bemberg. The film tells the story of a woman of short stature whose visible difference is not talked about in her small town. Under the taboo imposed by her mother, the adolescent is assimilated into society until she finally breaks out and reveals her otherness, rising above all conventions of speech and silence. In this film, Alejandra Podestá shows the courage to be herself and what it means to act wonderfully.
