The Argentinian drama "Paulina" is a remake of the 1960 film "La Patota" (Spanish for "gang"), and it stars Dolores Fonzi as Paulina, a young woman who leaves her privileged life and career prospects behind to work as a teacher within an indigenous community of extreme poverty on Argentina's border with Paraguay and Brazil. One night, she is raped by a gang. In the aftermath of the shocking sexual assault, Paulina's unfathomable actions, and the limits of social justice, are examined unflinchingly.
Co-written and directed by Santiago Mitre ("El Estudiante"), the film also stars Oscar MartÃnez, Esteban Lamothe, Cristian Salguero and Andrea Quattrocchi. The film won the Critics Week and FIPRESCI prizes at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
"Paulina" opened in select theaters in the U.S. on June 23rd, 2017.

SYNOPSIS
JUMP BACK TO TOP
"Paulina, the daughter of an eminent left-wing judge, suspends her legal education and the prospects of a promising political career to travel to an indigenous community of extreme poverty on Argentina's border with Paraguay and Brazil. She is determined to nurture 'from the inside' a project of civil rights education, but her Guarani-speaking high-school students resist her civics lessons - and she quickly learns that gaining their trust won't be an easy task.These subtly illuminating encounters reverberate in the aftermath of the central event of the film - a harrowing sexual assault by a group of young men. Paulina's unfathomable actions, and the limits of social justice, are examined unflinchingly in this 'social thriller' of will and sacrifice."
