Trigal, is a love triangle between two cousins who are on the edge of puberty. They both fall in love with an older man, a conflict that takes places as they discover their sexuality and involves family problems, repressed and immature desires, and emotional ignorance.

Anabel Caso's feature debut is a story based on the director's youth, her own discovery, and the changes she experienced upon entering puberty.

"It talks about women, about our experiences, shortcomings, loneliness, about how we approach the universe of sexuality and the limits of consent when one person is more vulnerable than another," shared Anabel Caso.

“In the end all made a joint construction […] we end up doing a new work and that is the wonder of cinema,” added Anabel, also director of the short film Sofía (2016)
