The jury statement
This film takes the audience on a trip with Belén, a cleaning woman in the house of a rich family in a gated community. She finds a way to escape from her narrow cage when discoverin a nudist community on the other side of the fence. A DECENT WOMAN explores with a great sensitivity and precise observation the impact this new found freedom has on her life. At the same time, this freedom provokes a conflict with the bourgeois side of the gate. We give the special Jury Award to this daring and original film.
