Here is the first official trailer for Belén, the Argentinian drama film directed and starring Dolores Fonzi. Fonzi embodies Soledad Deza, a fearless lawyer who takes on the harrowing real-life case of Julieta, a young woman unjustly accused of infanticide after suffering a miscarriage.
The cast includes Camila Plaate, Laura Paredes (who also co-wrote the screenplay), Julieta Cardinali, Sergio Prina, with special appearances by Luis Machín and César Troncoso.
Belén is set to world premiere at San Sebastian International Film Festival, then released in select Argentine theaters on September 18 and launch on Prime Video later this year.
Belén is a movie based on the true story that sparked an international movement, Belén chronicles the harrowing case of Julieta, a young woman falsely accused of infanticide, and Soledad Deza (Dolores Fonzi), the fearless lawyer who takes on the highly controversial, explosive case. Produced by K&S Films (Oscar-winning producers of Wild Tales), Belén takes us to Tucumán, a conservative region of Argentina, where Julieta’s trial becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women’s reproductive rights. As Soledad faces off against a corrupt, classist, and patriarchal legal system, Julieta’s story ignites a groundswell of outrage and solidarity, galvanizing an unstoppable movement for justice and bodily autonomy.
Belén is equal parts gripping courtroom drama, searing critique of systemic injustice, and celebration of resilience and sisterhood.
