The Heiresses, a 2018 Paraguayan drama film directed by Marcelo Martinessi, focuses on Chela and Chiquita. Both descended from wealthy families in Asunción, Paraguay that have been together for over 30 years. But their financial situation worsens and they begin selling off their inherited possessions. When their debts lead to Chiquita being imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality. Driving for the first time in years, she begins to provide a local taxi service to a group of elderly wealthy ladies. As she settles into her new life, she encounters the much younger Angy, forging a fresh and invigorating new connection. Chela finally begins to break out of her shell and engage with the world, embarking on her own personal, intimate revolution.
The Heiresses will be screened today at Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Valletta at 7.30pm. Tickets from www.kreattivita.org.
