At 32, Luisa encounters her 15-year-old self in this sentimental and bold story about self-acceptance and sexuality.
A disillusioned photographer has a chance encounter with her lost teenage self who has miraculously traveled into the future. Together, both women ultimately discover who they really are, finding the courage to live life by being true to themselves. A time-traveling love story that turns coming-of-age conventions upside down, LUISA is a universal queer romance for the modern age.
