Costa Rica, a small country with a budding film industry, has a notable female directed feature in the Forum section of the Berlinale.
El despertar de las hormigas is about a young wife and mother, a seamstress by trade, who lives in a small town, is married with two children and is deeply troubled. The audience does not know what she is dealing with internally, but we know she is troubled, nor do we know where the film will lead us. And so we watch her live a normal and not unhappy life with her husband who loves and accepts her, her children who behave and love her, her friends and her family as they celebrate the events of life, take vacations, go dancing, go to work, drop off and pick up the children at school, return home, eat meals, talk of children and make love.

Antonella Sudasassi will present her feature debut “Hormigas” in the Berlinale Forum.
Produced by Amaya Izquierdo at Costa Rica’s Betta Films, and José Esteban Alenda at Spain’s Solita Films, “Hormigas” portrays a humble Costa Rican family. The story is told from the point of view of the mother, who sees her dreams put on hold due to her husband’s desire for a third child. The situation will explore the feelings the mother (Daniella Valenciano) develops and her new perspectives on her femininity and sexuality, and the unsuspected micro-machismo surrounding her.
Sudasassi participated in the Berlinale Talents program at the Guadalajara Intl. Film Festival (Ficg) with the film when it was a project. She was trained in Media Management and Audiovisual Production at the University of Costa Rica.
Sandro Fiorin’s FiGa Films, the prestigious Miami and Brazil-based company with a keen eye for emerging talent, manages international sale rights.
