Set in an upper-class neighbourhood of the Dominican Republic, La Hembrita is an unsettling portrait of a middle-aged woman, Dominique, and her relations with family, servants and entourage.

Benny, the best North Manhattan barber, inherits a building. He must choose either to sell it (thus ending the history and dreams of an immigrant neighborhood) or keep the Barbershop, center of the community where everything can happen.

Omar and Nini are a young couple in bloom, sharing a small apartment in Santo Domingo where they make love and tend to their blind cat Luna. When their paths as creative freelancers begin to sour and financial uncertainty exposes deep resentments, a new job opportunity for Nini offers a potential lifeline. They chase for whatever can give a spark to their relationship, but in the harsh light of adulthood, they might realize that there’s no such thing as a fresh start.
