"Too Late to Die Young" is a Chilean film directed by Dominga Sotomayor Castillo. She became the first woman ever to win the Leopard for Best Direction at the Locarno Festival. This coming of age tale, set in an intentional but isolated community in rural Chile in 1990, follows teenagers Sofia, Lucas and Clara who face their first loves and fears, while preparing for New Year's Eve. The Critics Consensus: "'Too Late to Die Young' uses one family's experiences as the foundation for a dreamily absorbing drama with a poignant, lingering warmth."
