Luisa from Argentina and Fred from Germany are confronted with their social roles at their wedding. The tradition of kidnapping the bride threatens the couple's equality.
In her work German-Argentinean Sophia Mocorrea questions and deconstructs the structures in which young people are socialised within and between cultures. Her award-winning short film Matadoras was screened at Premiers Plans in 2021. She is currently developing her first feature film, Marriage by Abduction, which won the Les Arcs Talent Village Award. El Secuestro de la Novia (The Kidnapping of the Bride) is her graduation film.
