Courtesy Cuadernos de Cine Berlin Golden Bear winner Lila Avilés (“Totém”) has wrapped production on her next feature film, “Cábula,” and shared an exclusive first-look image with Variety. The director will present the film during the Venice Gap-Financing Market, which takes place from Sept. 4 – 6.
Set in the fictional Mexican town of Mexicalpan, “Cábula” follows Toña, a dedicated and deeply compassionate teacher who is committed to nurturing her students’ creativity. When an invitation to represent their community takes Toña and her class to the capital, they encounter an absurd group of elites determined to appropriate and exploit their customs. But despite a series of challenges and betrayals, Toña reaffirms her calling and her belief in the transformative power of education.
