Párpados azules

Directed by Ernesto Contreras

A Sundance award-winning feature début by Contreras, this fable of loneliness in a big city offers a counterpoint to the traditional romantic comedy.

Marina (Suárez) is surprised to win the big prize draw at work: a trip for two to a beach paradise. But she can’t find anyone to accompany her – until she runs into Victor (Arreola), a former schoolmate whom she can’t remember. This bittersweet little gem will get under your skin, just like its haunting Ray Davies written sixties theme song by Sheffield’s Dave (Crying Game) Berry.

“Beautifully acted, imaginatively directed, this funny, touching movie is a treat.” Time Out
