2023 Tallinn Best Director, Best Script

A touching film on love, family and disillusionment that seduces the audience with its delicate, sensitive, transparent, and plain style... Fifteen-year-old Andrea remembers her father as a loving, affectionate man and cannot understand why he doesn’t want to see his children after his divorce. She will go as far as it takes to win back her father’s love, and this includes confronting her mother and even taking legal action. Tomás and Fidel, her two younger brothers who barely know their father are her tireless companions on this adventure. Shooting the film chronologically to preserve the surprise factor for the actors, Manuel Martín Cuenca is one of the most prestigious and well-known Spanish auteurs of the current movie scene, whose cinema was compared to Bresson’s.

This film is screened with the kind contribution of Instituto Cervantes Istanbul.
