Paulina Sanchez is another performer who understands that
success can take a long time. Ms. Sanchez has worked on stage
and appeared in soap operas in Chile since the 1980s. This year,
she stars in the title role of her very first feature film. It's
called "Gloria," directed by Sebastian Lelio. The director keeps
the camera close on Sanchez as she portrays this hardworking
divorced mother of two in her late 50's, who's trying to
navigate her life, a life full of unmet expectations.  The movie
opens in a nightclub where Gloria gets up the courage to
reintroduce herself to an old friend as if to signal it is time
for something new.   PAULINA GARCIA: (Foreign language spoken)
