Forastera (2026)
Overview
Forastera is a Spanish drama set on the island of Mallorca, where a teenage girl named Cata spends summer with her grandparents until her grandmother dies suddenly and Cata alone witnesses it. Grief gives way to something stranger: she begins impersonating the deceased, and the game gradually reshapes family roles around her. The Leans Traditional label fits a film rooted in intergenerational family life, Catalan cultural setting, and the weight of elder loss. The nudge away from a fully Traditional rating comes from the family structure shifting in less conventional directions after the grandmother's death, with authority and gender roles rearranging rather than restoring.
