23-year old Lucia, isolated from society, lives locked up in her apartment in the company of Camila, on whom she relies to find the root of her wicked self. This leads to her tempestuous past, traumas and family. Between paintings and canvases, Lucia fights her way on not getting lost in the chaos of her mind, with the goal to find herself again. Lucia is a psychological thriller that narrates in metaphors the importance of mental health but especially what happens when it is neglected and minimised. In the story we see the passage from a girl to an adult affected by family uprooting caused by her schizophrenia, a condition that she does not fully understand and that scares her, making her feel trapped and alone. It is a story about fears, specially the ones related to life changing constantly. Having to cope with that while being young and full of doubts, the fear of being alone in a stage of growth. We want to reach as many people as possible because we believe that mental illness has to stop being a taboo, as well as getting more women and new talents heard in the film industry.
