Synopsis:

The lives of three women at different historical moments are explored in the evocative 'Chrysalis,' an ambitious, accomplished debut that fuses sweeping breadth and attention to detail into a memorable whole. First-time writer-helmer Paula Ortiz wants to say it all about 20th-century Spain and womankind in general, but the pic's firm grounding in real historical events, carefully drawn characters and well-told storiesare enough to ward off pretension. Ortiz took the prize for new director at Spain's Valladolid fest, and 'Chrysalis' is likely to grow wings and take flight on the fest circuit.

In 1941, Ines (Maribel Verdu) is living a grinding existence in a barren area of rural Spain. Her lover, Paco (Roberto Alamo), a fugitive anti-Francoist guerrilla, returns, and they are clandestinely married before he is captured and imprisoned. The final story is set in 1975, before Franco's death: Middle-aged Luisa (Luisa Gavasa) leads a cocooned life with her friend Isabel (Cristina Rota), fretting about lower back pain and still waiting to meet the man of her dreams, a role the nondescript local haberdasher Valentin (Luis Bermejo) is anxious to fulfill.

Interwoven emotions and struggles of three women of different generations aiming to build the lives they desire, their own future, love and dreams. All of them lose the love of their lives and they will have to pursue their happiness and fight for their dignity in a dark and hostile word.
