La Maternal

Left alone by her mother, 14-year-old Carla often skips school and passes the time with her boyfriend. When a social worker discovers that Carla is five months pregnant, she is placed in "La Maternal," a centre for teenage mothers. Here she finds new allies with similar fates and gets help preparing for her new life. But how do you fulfil your role as a mother when you are still a child yourself? Director Pilar Palomero prepares the perfect stage for young actress Carla Quílez and tells of an emotional roller coaster ride with an extraordinary sense of rhythm.
