Macon Film Guild Presents: "The Heiresses"

Presented by Macon Film Guild at Douglass Theatre

Written and directed by Paraguayan filmmaker Marcelo Martinessi, the film premiered in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival winning Silver Bear for Best Actress and the Alfred Bauer (Silver Bear) and FIPRESCI prizes for Best Film.

(Paraguay-Germany-Uruguay-Brazil-Norway-France, drama, 98 min., unrated) Chela and Chiquita, both from wealthy families in Paraguay, have been a couple for three decades. But their financial situation has worsened and the women begin selling off their inherited possessions. Chela even begins to offer a taxi service to neighborhood women, opening her eyes to the wider world.  “Draws you into a social milieu that is both highly specific and intuitively accessible. It’s also a vivid and affecting character study, anchored in actress Ana Brun’s remarkably vivid and nuanced performance.” – New York Times
