🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the parallel fates of two young women, exploring the social fissures of contemporary Spain through the lens of personal drama. It relies on an almost documentary-like rawness to convey a sense of precariousness and the fragility of human dignity.

What lingers after the viewing is a quiet, haunting portrait of those rendered invisible on the margins of the 'European dream,' where survival is a daily act of resilience. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Pedro Pérez Rosado
