Tengo sueños eléctricos (I Have Electric Dreams), the feature debut by Costa Rican Valentina Maurel won three of the main awards at the Locarno Festival in Switzerland: best actress for its protagonist, the adolescent Daniela Marín Navarro, best actor for the thespian who plays her father, Reinaldo Amien, and best director for Maurel.
