Pablo Llorca
The legendary Mario Gas and his daughter Miranda star in this humanist comedy by Pablo Llorca, an immersion in a working class area of Madrid, its neighborhood life and its community ties, on the fringes of the haste of the big city. Along with Elena, a photographer for a magazine, we end up in La Fortuna, where Elena takes Ana after helping her when she feels unwell after a marathon. There, in the bar, we’ll get to know Ana’s world, her father, a likable sponger, and her long-suffering mother, and we’ll accompany her on her road to independence.

A musician famous in the 80s thanks to a song, the personification of so many Spanish pop musicians; his best friend, an apparently famous painter, and the crossovers between two worlds where differentiating between truth and illusion doesn’t matter: that is the storyline of The Journey to Kyoto. What begins as a tragicomedy about a musician clinging to a distant past where he tasted glory, ends up being a precise metaphor for our day, where we all have the same pretensions of living an old success.
