🎬Camila Comes Out Tonight

Camila (Nina Dziembrowski) is a fierce, politically active 17-year-old living in a progressive public school environment in Mar del Plata. When her grandmother falls critically ill, Camila and her family are forced to move to Buenos Aires to care for her.

Uprooted from her comfortable, open-minded network of friends, Camila is enrolled in a rigid, traditional private Catholic high school in the capital. Unwilling to compromise her ideals, she immediately clashes with the conservative school administration while seeking her place among her new classmates. Navigating new friendships, political resistance, and intense romantic feelings for a female classmate, Camila learns to assert her sexual identity and personal autonomy in a world determined to constrain her.
