The Movie Teller

Synopsis
María Margarita is the youngest of four siblings in a family living in a mining town in the Atacama Desert (Chile). The most special time of the week for this family is Sunday, when they go to the movies to enjoy stories that let them escape their everyday lives. The girl’s parents soon realise that she has a very special gift: an almost uncanny ability to recount movies. Her extraordinary talent spreads throughout the village, changing the fortunes of her family as the country is transformed forever.
With standout performances from Academy Award® nominee Bérénice Bejo, BAFTA nominee Daniel Brühl, and multiple-time Goya Award winner Antonio de la Torre, The Movie Teller celebrates our capacity to defy the harshest circumstances, to find love, community, inspiration, and hope where there seems to be none.
