“No Salgas”: A Journey  Exploring Identity, Pain, and Hope

Presented at the 76th Berlinale, No Salgas” by director Victoria Linares Villegas touches on themes such as loss, identity, and fear in youth. From its opening scenes, viewers are invited to reflect on how trauma can trigger both internal and social tension, often expressed through extreme behaviours. The work seeks to connect with young audiences through the story of Liz, a university student who confronts her own ghosts after the death of her girlfriend, in a narrative that blends elements of horror and social realism.

Challenging the Boundaries of Youth and Horror

The narrative in “No Salgas” moves from moments of intimate stillness to situations of violence and paranoia, reflecting a reality in which fear and desire intertwine in an emotional struggle. Director Victoria Linares Villegas explains that she intends this approach to enable young viewers to recognize themselves in the protagonist and to understand the importance of embracing their authentic identity, even in challenging circumstances.

A Message of Hope

Which aspects of “No Salgas” may resonate particularly with the young generation is a question that director Victoria Linares Villegas answers clearly. She aims to convey that, although the path toward acceptance can be difficult and often dark, the film also offers a message of hope. The protagonist’s journey evolves into an act of courage at the end, when Liz confronts her family and finds support in a new friendship and love, demonstrating that love and authenticity can overcome even the harshest obstacles.

 


Plot

Liz, a closeted gay college student pretending to be straight, is still haunted by the gruesome death of her girlfriend, Wendy. Desparate for escape, she joins her friends on a weekend trip away. But as Liz grows close to a mysterious young woman on the trip, unresolved sorrow and long-buried desires stir something unnatural within her. An unseen force that twists suspicion into violence spreads through the group, threatening to consume it. In a society where being seen can be dangerous, Liz must confront not only her grief, but also the brutal cost of being herself.
