The Camera Obscura
2008, Spanish. Directed by María Victoria Menis.
At the end of the 19th century, a girl whom everyone considers ugly, becomes, over time, an insignificant woman, ignored by all. Yet she observes the world around her with a strange eagerness and finds signs of beauty everywhere she looks. Years later, a French photographer already married and with children arrives at her house. He will be the only person capable of seeing the beauty and the richness of her intense inner world.
