SECOND STAR ON THE RIGHT

Thirty-something Emilia is at a crossroads with her longtime friends Angélica, Clara, and Renata, whose contentment with their rich family lives and successful careers still won’t allow them to acknowledge Emilia’s bisexuality. On top of that, Emilia’s got a stalled acting career and a girlfriend to whom she can’t commit. As Emilia sets out to seek fulfillment, director Ruth Caudeli (Outfest 2018 favorite Eva and Candela) sprinkles her black-and-white world with spurts of color, sexy encounters, and even some musical numbers in this naturalistic charmer.
