A Secret World

The old maxim goes that youth is wasted on the young, but part of this naiveté is to seek truth and self discovery. María is ending her high school years and lives as a lone wolf who does not quite fit in. She decides to do something about it and leaves the safety of her home to move toward the open sea and seek adventure in the world around you. This song use of the quiet and pensive character María makes you think about the isolation we all deal with. There is something comforting to the silence and even though we may seem to not fit in where we live, we do have a place within the universe around us. This movie is a moving tale about a young woman seeking self discovery. I saw this film as part of the Atlanta Film Festival
