Isabel, Content Chief of the poorly rated Culture Channel, trusts that Sofia, her daughter, will save her career by being the new image of the Venezuelan youth. However, Sofia, who has just returned from Spain where she studied journalism, has her own plans: she declares that she has found her true identity abroad, claiming that she is really Argentinean and she plans to travel south in order to become repatriated. That is the beginning of this unique and funny family “war of independence” which puts the love between mother and daughter to the test. NENA, SALÚDAME AL DIEGO has just recently begun a world wide festival tour, including screenings at the Málaga Film Festival and Women’s International Film and Art Festival.

About the director
Andrea Herrera was born in Caracas but spent her early childhood in Paris. Her directorial work has been broadcast on TV through all of Latin America. She studied at the Chilean ARCIS school, where she honed her particular film style. What matters to Andrea in her craft are the close-ups, the daily lives of characters and of those surrounding them, something that comes through in her film NENA, SALÚDAME AL DIEGO.
