Indie Spanish film studio Filmax has acquired international sales rights to 'Alumbramiento' ('Birth'), the second feature film by Pau Teixidor, known for 'Purgatorio,' and produced by Aquí y Allí Films. The film tells the poignant story of Lucia, a teenager in 1982 Spain sent to a center for young pregnant girls. Lucia, played by Sofía Milán, finds herself in a reformatory for teen mothers-to-be, where she forms strong bonds with other girls but faces the heart-wrenching reality of her unborn child being taken away.
'Birth' is based on real events and was meticulously crafted through extensive research and interviews with over 50 individuals connected to the story. Teixidor, the director, emphasized the film's focus on memory and the shared feeling of being forgotten among the women he interviewed.
