Valentina

Valentina?s dream is to become a trapeze artist one day, but because she is a girl with Down syndrome, she believes she will never make it. Her grandmother encourages her by comparing her situation to the metamorphosis of caterpillars, in which they become beautiful butterflies. According to her, nothing is impossible! Although it seems that Valentina is not very convinced by the argument of her dear grandmother and when she comes to her to ask him more about the subject she discovers that she has gone on a trip. The protagonist embarks on an exciting musical adventure and decides to go in search of her family together with the mouse Chiqui and the fun equipment of her chessboard. 'VALENTINA' is the debut film by Chelo Loureiro, director, writer and producer of the proposal. "I had in my head the need to tell a story starring a little person considered different. Different from the eyes of others, because Valentina feels, dreams, laughs, gets angry and lives her adventure like any other girl. Valentina suffers the metamorphosis that we all go through in our growth process and will eventually transform -thanks to not losing his illusion, his curiosity, or his unconditional love for his grandmother- into a butterfly sure of herself, convinced of what we all already sensed: she is unique", explains the filmmaker.
