Madrid, 1975: Lina, Sandra and Eva are thirty-something actresses in search of cinematic success. Their paths cross as they begin working on Classified ‘S’ sex films which were produced en-masse in Spain in the years after Franco’s death. As the film moves from the 70s into the 80s, Lina’s self-destructive attitude, Eva’s insecurities and Sandra’s desire to become a ‘real actress’ make for a web of amusing and dramatic situations that provide an excellent snapshot of transitional Spain.
Friday’s screening will also be accompanied by an introduction from Andy Willis, Reader in Film Studies at the University of Salford.
