CORINA

A film by Úrzula Barba Hopfner
(Mexico, 2024, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Set in her hometown of Guadalajara, the auspicious and quirky debut by Úrzula Barba Hopfner tells the story of Corina, a 20-year-old who rarely leaves her house except to work at a local publishing house. She finds herself in crisis after making a grave mistake in the final installment of the company’s most famous book saga. To save her job—and the company itself—she must face her fears and, with Carlos’s help, set off on a journey to track down a mysterious writer. Starring the charming Naian González Norvind (New Order) in the title role, Corina is an uplifting and endearing fable, reminiscent of Amélie, about stepping beyond one’s comfort zone to embrace the unknown.

Ambientada en su ciudad natal de Guadalajara, la auspiciosa y peculiar ópera prima de Úrzula Barba Hopfner narra la historia de Corina, una joven de 20 años que rara vez sale de casa, excepto para trabajar en una editorial local. Su rutina se ve sacudida cuando comete un grave error en la última entrega de la saga más famosa de la editorial. Para salvar su trabajo—y a la empresa misma—deberá enfrentar sus miedos y, con la ayuda de Carlos, emprender un viaje en busca de una misteriosa escritora. Protagonizada por la encantadora Naian González Norvind (Nuevo orden) en el papel principal, Corina es una fábula conmovedora y entrañable, con ecos de Amélie, sobre atreverse a salir de la zona de confort y abrazar lo desconocido.
