About The Doldrums or How to Cure Sadness
The tiricia is an illness of the soul when the heart is saddened. A story of three generations afflicted with being tiricientas: Ita, Justa and Alicia – grandmother, mother and daughter – who have at different times suffered, tolerated and allowed abuse, dragging on the disease. Alicia decides to break the cycle, eradicating it for future generations.
Directed by Ángeles Cruz, The Doldrums or How to Cure Sadness leans on a strong ensemble — Vanessa Cuevas, Ángeles Cruz, Román Cruz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
