ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Rated an impeccable 92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, Cannes Film Festival Golden Camera winner LEAP YEAR is an unpredictable, gripping, and ultimately haunting film from director Michael Rowe (EARLY WINTER). Monica del Carmen stars as Laura, whose personal life consists of one affair after another. She meets Arturo (Gustavo Sánchez Parra) and the pair enter into an intense sexual relationship. As days go by, Laura crosses out the days on a calendar, revealing her secret past to her lover. New York Daily News calls it, "A haunting portrait of loneliness in its starkest state."
