Myna Se Va (Myna Has Gone) is an intense yet heartfelt film about Myna, a young illegal immigrant woman from an eastern country that is at war. She works as a home assistant for a married couple and their young son, Pablo. When the couple goes on a trip, Myna is left in charge of all the responsibilities for the household, as well as for their son. However, one night, Pablo has an accident and Myna, who knows that she can be deported if she goes to the hospital, decides to help Pablo through alternative means. Despite Myna Se Va’s micro budget, both Sonia and Sadrac have delivered a tour de force, one of the most challenging and sincere films in a long time. The central character of Myna is played by brilliant young unknown actress Maria Del Barrio, who had to rehearse for 3 months, the 33-minute continuous, very difficult sex scene. But as a result, the overall film is one that will be on everyone’s lips who see it. |
