"Twelve Moons," directed by Victoria Franco, tells the story of Sofia, a 40-year-old architect in Mexico City grappling with loss, fertility issues, and societal pressures. As her professional and personal life deteriorate, Sofia's struggles with alcohol and drug use become a means to cope with her insecurities. The film highlights the challenges faced by women in conforming to societal expectations, emphasizing the importance of authenticity. Franco stresses the need to portray characters who challenge social norms, reflecting the complexities of identity and belonging in modern society.
"For me, it's really important to portray people who don't feel comfortable with social conventions. There are many people who don't feel that they are part of society but feel societal pressure."
"Sofia's alcohol and drug dependency should be seen as a disease. It is her way of relaxing when faced with societal expectations and the pressure to conform."
