La Libertad de la Jaula

Maria holds a train ticket to Barcelona in her hand but cannot step toward the apartment door. Her life is a perfectly tuned mechanism: her accounting job, dinners with her mother, evening TV series. Each day repeats with frightening precision until a chance encounter with a street musician makes her question her own choices. The 2025 drama explores the fine line between the safety of the familiar and the fear of the unknown. Director Carlos Mendes paints a portrait of a woman whose internal cage proves stronger than any bars, forcing viewers to contemplate the price of peace of mind and what we call freedom.
