Fifteen

‘Fifteen’ is a film that mixes horror with hints of comedy. It is an ambitious film with a lot of action and stunts, a supernatural world where mythic creatures come to life. A truly original script that revolves around a very Mexican social and cultural phenomenon: The quinceañera party. The event commemorates the transition from girl to woman, a moment in life full of fantasies and false expectations about the world and the role one occupies within society. An age in which sexuality is discovered and the search for an identity of its own begins that sometimes leads to self-destruction after aspiring to fame and popularity. The story, simple at first glance, basically tells of the fear of growing up, the love of a mother and the conflict of bringing a child to a world where inequality and social class differences prevail.
