00:00 43 years after its appearance at Cannes,
00:03 national artist Lino Broca's film "Bona"
00:05 featuring another national artist, Nora Onor,
00:08 makes a return to France.
00:10 The 4K restored version of the film
00:12 is to be premiered this year at the festival
00:14 through the collaborative efforts of Carlotta Films
00:16 and Cany Releasing.
00:17 "Bona" follows a young middle-class girl
00:20 who drops out of high school
00:21 to pursue a one-sided romance with Gardo,
00:23 a minor actor in low-budget films.
00:26 Ariel Esteban Calle,
00:28 co-founder of Cany Releasing, says
00:30 the process for restoration was complex
00:32 and had to be done abroad.
00:34 Calle adds the film premiered in Cannes in 1981,
00:37 so it was the logical place
00:38 to premiere the restored version.
