"the DIY Queen of Canadian Filmmaking." Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail
"Veninger displays a confident control of tone and pacing... [MODRA is] a prime example of heartfelt DIY filmmaking that really works... poignantly alert to the nuances of teen life, perfectly capturing that confusing betwixt-and-between time..." Alissa Simon, VARIETY
Winner: Toronto Film Critics Association 2011 "Jay Scott Prize for Best Emerging Artist"
"Ingrid Veninger has been recognized as one of the most compelling female voices in Canadian Film." Damien Detcheberry, Festival du Nouveau Cinema
"Along with Xavier Dolan, Veninger is one of precious few Canadian directors guaranteed to give us something fascinating." Dave Robson, soundonsight.org

Not long after arriving in Modra, Lina and Leco discover they have little in common. To make matters worse, Lina's family assumes that a romance is afoot. So far from home, they are forced to confront one another leading to an explosion of repressed desire and confusion.
