La innocència

A central theme of the film is the transition from girlhood to womanhood, especially as experienced in a small, conservative town. Lucía Alemany portrays the physical and emotional shifts of adolescence in a candid and non-idealized manner. She noted that she wanted the lead character Lis to reflect a recognizable teenage reality, including the discomfort that arises when a young girl's body is prematurely sexualized by society: "One of the requirements I had for Lis was that she have big boobs, because there's something in that - in the sense that 'two days ago I was a child, and now I have something that is sexually very attractive'."
