An interaction with real people with different social rules is coming to LA in “Too Late to Die Young” (Tarde para morir joven) A Spanish spoken language film from director Dominga Sotomayor Castillo.  Everything starts with the starring trans actor Demian Hernández—who has transitioned since production—in the role of Sofía, and inspired by the director’s own childhood, the third feature by Sotomayor (Thursday till Sunday, Mar) is set in 1990, when Chile transitioned to democracy. Political change, however, seems a world away for 16-year-old Sofía, who lives far off the grid in a mountain enclave of artists and bohemians.

There are some scenes are entirely without dialogue and almost mirror each other between the main characters. Definitely, silence is the best dialogue because is full of nostalgia. This film reminds you an unusual childhood full of ups and downs of emotions situated on an emotional precipice.
