Filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist Amalia Ulman makes her directorial debut with this American-Spanish co-production about the dignity of two women in a precarious situation. Both endearing and delirious, the film, shot in just 16 days, is a combination of the surreal solitude of the recent Destello Bravío and the indolence of Jarmusch’s Strangers in Paradise. The film stars the director herself (diagnosed with autism), her mother Ale Ulman and filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo in a small role.
Leonor and her mother are facing an imminent eviction. Between more or less meaningful conversations and downtime, they will look for a way to resolve the matter, although the people they meet won’t make it easy for them.
Film will be screened in its original language.
