Chile’s Paulina García, winner of the Berlinale Silver Bear for her performance in Sebastian Lelio’s “Gloria,” is poised to direct her first feature, “The Passion According to Carmen” (“La Pasión según Carmen”).

Described as “the coming-of-age story of an adult woman” it follows Carmen, a journalist, whose life appears – at least on the surface – to be happy and stable. She has close friends, a comfortable life and is married to Nico with whom they have a 20-year-old daughter. But Carmen is bereft over her grandmother and best friend, Mar, who has died.
