Adela grew up an only child in a conservative family, flitting between her parents’ antique shop and the catechism classes she teaches under her mother’s watchful eye. Her intersex identity, kept quiet at home, remains something of a mystery to her, even as she has already helped shape a large part of her life.
Her routine is upended by the arrival of a new priest at the parish, the return of a childhood friend, and her encounter with Isabel. These evolving connections push her to gradually break free from the confines she has been kept in. From Pamplona to Madrid, Adela embarks on a journey of self-discovery, where affection, friendship, and love become essential anchors.
The film is billed as a contemporary reinterpretation of the Spanish title Mi querida señorita. Fernando González Molina directs it, while Alana S. Portero handles the screenplay. Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi participate in the executive production through Suma Content. The cast includes Elisabeth Martínez as Adela, Anna Castillo as Isabel, plus Paco León, Nagore Aranburu, Manu Ríos, Eneko Sagardoy, Lola Rodríguez and María Galiana.
Given its subject matter, My Dearest Señorita sits in the realm of intimate drama, weaving a romantic thread with a social dimension rooted in identity, the parental gaze, and the place afforded to marginalized bodies. The film could sit among Spanish narratives that center on personal trajectories, conformity to norms, and emotional transformations.
