Paola nació en una familia tradicional colombiana, o al menos eso es lo que tratan de mostrarle al mundo. El papá fue sacerdote, la mamá es vidente y las hermanas no son precisamente lo que sus padres esperaban. Esta es la historia de una joven que lucha por su independencia en un contexto difícil, donde abundan estereotipos y apariencias, la vida de una mujer dibujante latinoamericana que se rehúsa a aceptar los cánones impuestos y que aprende a vivir trazo a trazo. Con una visión muy personal del mundo, esta niña es testigo y protagonista de una sucesión de pequeñas crisis a las que va haciendo frente, moldeando su personalidad.

Adapted from the graphic novel memoir by Colombian-Ecuadorian cartoonist Powerpaola, Virus Tropical is a thoughtful and deeply affecting coming-of-age story that begins on the night Paola is conceived – in a stylized but anatomically complete sequence that sets the tone for the film’s matter-of-fact exploration of sexuality and family – and ends with her striking out on her own as a young adult. Over the intervening years we accompany Paola, the youngest of three daughters raised by a mostly single mom, as she gropes and fumbles her way through friendships, new schools, clunky romances, and various domestic dramas. Scrappy DIY black and white animation and lo-fi Latin-indie score lend a lovingly idiosyncratic charm to a film that brings forth a unique and utterly refreshing girl’s POV perspective. By the end you have formed a gentle intimacy with this family and are happy to have spent time together.
