Evokes a naturalism more akin to documentary than fiction, employing the visual language of the familiar - repetition and routine of day-to-day life - to tell its sensual tale of young love and personal identity. The idyllic mountainside, one of omnipresence yet desolation, provides the perfect juxtaposition for its main protagonist in Yara, a young woman whom in meeting a young man, finds her life filled with insurmountable promise. Feelings of connection, the power which the emotive instills in the disparate soul is what grants Yara a newfound sense of strength, giving her the courage to grapple with her own personal identity and sheltered upbringing, leading her to a path of personal growth and individual identity, one which is still rooted in her social environment but one that is not defined by it. Up to this point her existence, her way of life was never questioned, and yet this potential romance awakens Yara to the perils of her spatial environment, one which has become desolate due to emigration and modernization, an aging populace all that remains. A coming of age story which recognizes the omnipresent nature of love, specifically in how it can subvert social milieau and personal identity, Yara evokes an ethereal quality due to its mature understanding of such forces, encapsulating the insurmountable promise of autonomy which love grants to the individual.
