Beatriz gets a second chance after failing in almost every aspect of her life while working as a substitute psychologist in her eccentric aunt’s school.
A failed psychologist, after two divorces and long time spent in Mexico, flees to her childhood home in Colombia to escape fraud charges, only to discover that her quirky aunt has turned the estate into a high school. What seems at first a terrible surprise will in fact help her finally find a fulfilling path in life as an unconventional theatre instructor.
“What a breath of fresh air! The plot is nothing like has ever been produced in Columbia before, and offers a tasty and sophisticated sense of humor with complex characters. Laura Perez is wonderful in her feature film directorial debut, and does a great job with the color and photography of the movie. Great enjoyable movie overall.” – IMDb
“It is so unique, and very fun to watch. The humor is amazing. Created by talented women!” – Philly Dogs
“ ’Bendita Rebeldia’ is the first female-led comedy film produced in Colombia. Centered on a young heiress who moves back home to Colombia after a stint of failed marriages and shady contracts in Mexico, the film provides a perspective on Colombian women and the expectations and roles placed on them by their familial obligations.” – Virago Rising
