Synopsis

After losing her job as a photographer at a cutting-edge fashion magazine, Marta finds herself forced to abandon the cool, modern world she had always dreamed of being a part of and return to the old-fashioned, working-class neighborhood where she grew up. There, she will be reunited with Desi, Soraya and Bea, her inseparable childhood friends, and will soon find herself catapulted back into their authentic, tragicomic friendship. Being back together again will force them to face up to the teenagers they once were and the women they now want to become.

Almost without realizing, they will help each other make some of the most important decisions of their lives. Despite the passing of time and how different they all are now, the power of their friendship is the one constant they can all rely on and the thing that matters to them the most.

Critics reviews

“Girlfriends' concept is as wonderful as its four main actresses, […] all of whom ooze a refreshing sense of spontaneity and self-confidence.” CINEMANIA

“A powerful tale of life on the outskirts of the city and one that leaves all stigma and stereotypes at the door.” EL CONFIDENCIAL

“A luminous and highly generational comedy about the lives of everyday people.” EL PERIODICO

"The story is drenched in life experience […] and the actresses gobble up every last crumb of the reality sandwich that is this film”. ABC
