Tula
Bea de Silva
Tula works as a cleaning lady at a private school for girls. One day, she encounters the headmaster’s 14-year-old daughter in the toilets. The girl tells her a secret and Tula has to decide whether or not to help her. In the style of a chamber play, the film’s plot focuses on two very different characters who, in a rather unusual setting, gradually learn to trust each other.
