Carina

About This Movie

Carina is a fascinating little drama that plays on the innocence of childhood against the backdrop of adult complexities. The story follows 8-year-old Carina, who loves rock & roll, as her world turns upside down when she suspects her new teacher is the same woman featured in her father's erotic magazine. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing moments of genuine childhood confusion to breathe, and while the direction remains largely unknown, the performances, particularly from the young lead, carry a raw honesty. There’s a unique tonal blend here that captures both the whimsical and the unsettling, making it distinctively memorable in the indie landscape of 2014.

Carina has not seen a wide release, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Formats are primarily limited to digital and some indie circuit DVDs, which adds a layer of scarcity. Enthusiasts of indie cinema may find it particularly intriguing due to its unusual premise and the thematic exploration of childhood against adult realities.
