Overview
- Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s drama entered the Cannes main competition for the Palme d’Or as one of three Spanish titles this year.
- The story centers on a filmmaker father and his daughter, whose clashing accounts of their past drive the conflict, according to Sorogoyen and co-writer Isabel Peña.
- A film-within-the-film about Spaniards in the Sahara mirrors the power imbalance of patriarchy and echoes Spain’s colonial history.
- El Periódico praised Javier Bardem and Victoria Luengo for standout performances in the premiere screening.
- At a press session, Bardem said he is getting more work calls despite talk of a Gaza-related Hollywood blacklist and labeled what is happening in Gaza inhuman and hypocritical.
