UK Premiere
One hectic day in Madrid becomes a crisis point for a group of people struggling to stay afloat. Supermarket worker Azucena (Penelope Cruz) is facing eviction from her home. The elderly Teodora (Adelfa Calvo) is worried for a son who will not return her calls. Lawyer Rafa (Luis Tosar) devotes all his waking hours to helping others but neglects those near and dear to him. Actor turned director Juan Diego Botto weaves these three stories into a reflection on the human casualties of economic chaos told with all the urgency and compassion of a Dardenne Brothers film.
