Gabi

2011 · 21 min

A quiet, intimate portrait of a woman navigating grief and small-town judgment, carried by a restrained, melancholic mood.

Overview
A Puerto Rican saying haunts single women in their 30s: "If such a woman is not married by this time, she must be a slut, a lesbian, or a prude". This is the story of that woman. Gabi Padilla lives a life of pleasure and independence. But after her mother's unexpected death, she is forced to return to her rural hometown—a place where Gabi's sensual flair is not welcome.
