Clara (played by the wonderful Wendy Chinchilla Araya, in her first role), is believed to have special powers as a “healer.” She sustains a family and a village in need of hope, while finding solace in her relationship with the natural world. After years of being controlled by her mother’s repressive care, Clara’s sexual desires are stirred by her attraction to her niece’s new boyfriend. The stunning CLARA SOLA is the story of this newly awakened force, following Clara to unexplored territory, pushing the boundaries that have shaped her life, both physical and mystical.
