director biography

Born in 1994, Lucia Martinez Garcia is a young Swiss director whose films explore the deferments linked to the passage from childhood to adulthood. Using no professional actors, the fictions created stem from her immediate reality. A sibling, a neighbor, friends become performers for the span of a tale. For Lucia, fiction often blends with reality, creating fictions as minimal as they are essential.
