Belén

Directed by Dolores Fonzi
Argentina
2025
107 mins

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 (Dolores Fonzi), the fearless lawyer who takes on the explosive case. From the 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 legal system, Julieta's story ignites a groundswell of solidarity, galvanizing an unstoppable movement for justice and bodily autonomy.

Based on Ana Correa's book What Happened Belén, the film is equal parts gripping courtroom drama, searing critique of systemic injustice, and celebration of resilience and sisterhood.

Belén is a GEMS Centerpiece and has a higher price ticket, and is excluded from passes.
