has grown its slate acquiring Itsaso Arana’s directorial debut “The Girls Are Alright,” .

“Itsaso gave us the chance to read one of the first versions of the script for ‘The Girls Are Alright.’ We immediately fell in love and realized that we were dealing with a singular talent, with a unique vision,” said Luis Renart, head of Bendita Film Sales. “It has been a pleasure to follow the evolution of this project and to finally discover this beautiful, festive and unique film, which we are thrilled to bring to audiences around the world,” he added.

Elegantly philosophical, the film touches life, death, motherhood, and fairy tale. On the weight of these themes Arana told that “although the reasons that made me write this film were, in the beginning, deep and intense, somehow, I think we get at last a film that is full of summery lightness, humor and companionship between women.” This lightness is aided by the stunning location in and around a converted mill close to Leon, rural Spain.
