(Un mundo secreto). The final day of high school marks the beginning of an emotional journey for María (Lucia Uribe), a young loner who sets off from Mexico City toward the Pacific Coast. What she is doing and where she is going is anybody’s guess. The glimpses director Gabriel Mariño offers into her inner life reveal a desperate imagination and a broken heart, while retaining a profound sense of mystery. Moving through the stark yet beautiful landscape and a series of distinct encounters, A Secret World offers glimpses into the emotional landscape of disconnected Mexican youth. Stephen Beachy
Written by Mariño. Photographed by Iván Hernández. With Lucia Uribe, Roberto Mares, Olivia Lagunas, Claudia Rios. (93 mins)
