NZIFF - Sundays
<div>Coming off a win for Best Film at the San Sebastián Film Festival, Sundays is a coming- of-age drama with the fragility of family and faith at its forefront.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Intelligent and unassuming 17-year-old Ainara (Blanca Sora) lost her mother at a young age but keeps her close through her faith. When she announces she is considering becoming a cloistered nun, this proposal takes her family by surprise and causes a rift between them, putting relationships and religious conviction to the test.</div><div><br></div><div>Ainara’s somewhat distant father Iñaki (Miguel Garcés) is preoccupied with a struggling business and his two younger daughters, whereas Maite (Patricia López Arnaiz), Ainara’s atheist aunt, supports her niece’s autonomy but is fervent that the teenager considers university and travel first. Ainara must also consider a blossoming romance with a boy from her choir against the allure of an introspective, peaceful monastic life.</div><div><br></div><div>Set in the Basque Country, an autonomous region of Spain historically shaped by Catholicism yet increasingly secular in its identity, Sundays is a quietly compelling</div><div>portrait of a young woman caught between two lives — the convent, or the world beyond it. - Madison Marshall</div></div>DramaPT1H55MM2026-08-31Blanca Soroa
