Having successfully toured the festival circuit, Argentinian film Auxilio is released in Europe at least in January.
The storyline is familiar stuff - wilful-minded daughter is sent to a convent until she learns some manners - but like all genre films, the value is in the telling, and in this case, set design, characterisation, costumes and supernatural plot are all spot-on. Here's the official blurb:
"It's 1931. Emilia, a rebellious and defiant young woman, is sent by her father to a convent. Her arrival unleashes paranormal manifestations in the place, which become increasingly strong for all the residents, religious and mentally ill women confined, but even more for Emilia, like a cry for help which is impossible to ignore"
Wide-eyed lead actress Cumelen Sanz looks destined for greater things
