Risa y la cabina del viento

JUAN CABRAL
Argentina, 2025
94 minutes, Color

In Person: Screenwriter Pablo Minces (April 22 and April 23)

Two-time winner of the Cannes Grand Prix awards, acclaimed filmmaker Juan Cabral returns to the big screen with Risa and the Wind Phone, a poignant and poetic piece that will break your heart just to mend it again. After losing her father in a tragic fire, 10-year-old Risa discovers that an abandoned out-of-service phone booth allows her to speak with the dead. Each caller has a story, a lingering regret, a final wish. They strike a deal: if Risa can help them resolve their unfinished business in the world of the living, they will grant her the impossible: a final conversation with her father. With the help of her nanny Estaban and her hamster Kuro, they embrace the strange mission with a journey of tough revelations and tender moments.—Various sources
