El brassier de Emma

It was the year of 1962 when I turned 12 and my breasts began to grow. Cecilia, my sister, went to study in Paris, I was left alone with my parents and their problems. I discovered that the breasts made men and women crazy, while mine began to draw the attention of my friends without adults realizing that I needed a bra.

Directed by Maryse Sistach, El brassier de Emma leans on a strong ensemble — Sofía Espinosa, Arcelia Ramírez, Marco Antonio Treviño — 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 2007.
