Stop the Pounding Heart

Roberto Minervini VS 2013 98 min.

Young Sara – as well as her 11 brothers and sisters – was brought up in a deeply Christian family in rural Texas. Raising the girls is all about obedience, servitude and chastity. When Sara meets young rodeo star Colby, she ends up in a severe identity crisis during which she questions her parents’ ideals. An intimate portrait of religious fundamentalism, traditional gender roles and the conservative norms that determine life in rural America.
