Roba Alma

Elizabeth Francisco | Curaçao | 2024 | 21 min | Papiamentu | e.s.

Roba Alma delves into the intricate familial bonds within a quaint community steeped in superstition. Set amidst the rustic charm of Boca Samí during the 1990s, the narrative follows 19-year-old Markieta as she navigates the rhythms of her family´s fishing enterprise. Her fervent love for photography eclipses her responsibilities, igniting tensions with her sister Ivy and amplifying their already complex relationship.

As Markieta´s lens captures moments, the community´s belief in the soul-stealing nature of photography casts her as an outcast. Amidst this turmoil, she stumbles upon a secret entwined with her camera – an heirloom shrouded in mystery.
