In the hot summer, when Madrileños leave their homes in droves to escape the insufferable heat, the center of Madrid is left abandoned. That is, except for the tourists and a handful of undaunted locals—and those who can’t see the way forward, like Eva, a thirty-something in search of herself.
Set in a sweltering August in Madrid, Jonás Trueba’s sparkling slice-of-life story is fuelled by a charmingly footloose performance from Itsaso Arana. This episodic portrait of reunions and new encounters explores how a perceived time of stagnation can allow for the most surprising personal growth.
