The identity of Petra’s father has been concealed from her all of her life. Following her mother’s death, Petra embarks on a quest which leads to Jaume, a celebrated artist and powerful, ruthless man. As she attempts to uncover the truth, Petra meets Marisa, Jaume’s wife, and their son Lucas. Gradually, these characters are driven to the edge as their stories intertwine in a spiral of malice, family secrets and violence. Fate’s cruel logic, however, is derailed by a twist that opens a pathway to hope and redemption.

Petra, Catalan director Jaime Rosales’ 6th feature film, presents Barbara Lennie as its heroin in a tragic and impeccable performance. The film had its world premiere at the Director’s Fortnight during this year’s Cannes Film Festival to great reception from Rosales’ fans and critics alike.
