Schedule of events
- May 15: Mamifera - Maria Rodríguez Soto stars as Lola, whose unplanned pregnancy disrupts her life plans. She resists motherhood while Bruno (played by Enric Auquer) wants to be a father, forcing her to confront societal expectations and her own fears as she seeks clarity on her future.
- June 19: Tenéis que venir a verla - Having lost touch over the course of the pandemic, two thirtysomething couples catch up in Madrid for dinner and a concert. They make plans to hang out again - this time in the countryside where one couple has moved. The afternoon transforms from a friendly get-together into a referendum on opposing approaches to life and the city. Captivating performances translate a smart, incisive script into a rumination on modern living.
- July 17: Por donde pasa el silencio (Where the Silence Passes) - It’s Holy Week, and Antonio (Antonio Araque) has to return to Écija, a city in the heart of Andalusia, after a long time away. Once there, he reunites with his family and his twin brother, Javier (Javier Araque), who has a physical disability and needs his help. Antonio has to navigate this tricky situation and make a tough decision: stay and help his loved ones or return to the life he has built elsewhere. It’s an intimate and realistic portrait of family tensions in a rural Andalusian setting.
- August 14: Un amor - Having escaped from her stressful life in the city, 30-year-old Nat holes up in the small town of La Escapa in deepest rural Spain. In a run-down country house with a crotchety stray dog, she tries to put her life back on track. Having dealt with her landlord’s hostility and the mistrust of the village locals, Nat finds herself accepting a disturbing proposal made by her neighbor, Andreas. This strange and confusing encounter will give rise to an all-consuming and obsessive passion that will completely engulf Nat and make her question the kind of woman she thinks she is.
