Presented in the International Competition of Rotterdam Film Festival, where it received a special mention from the jury, Looking for Venera is a classic coming of age film, with all the necessary components for this genre to work: a repressive home, the castrating father, a submissive mother, a hostile social environment, sexual awakening, an oscillating friendship and an apparently not very expressive character who later finds his place in the world.
