“Another brilliant example of the power of films made by women (…) Humanistic, sincere, and no frills.”
A. Aldarondo, BERRIA

“A genuine in-depth look (free from judgement and condescension) at a society which has given up on love…by paying for it.”
Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“Impressively shot film, full of rich and thoughtful visual and thematic resonance.”
Lee Marshall, SCREEN DAILY

“A stimulating reflection on a most ignoble act: artistic creation.”
Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“Another extraordinary example of the heights being reached by new comedy in Spain.”
Angel Aldarondo, BERRIA

“Superb acting by Javier Gutiérrez (…) the brilliant Antonio de la Torre explodes on the screen.”
Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS

“Dignified, elegant and sensitive.”
Angel Aldarondo, BERRIA

“Brings body, meaning and beauty to the literary details; paints an intoxicatingly subtle picture.”
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“As tough as it is, in effect, cutting.”
Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“A love story tinged with tragedy and magic (…) the spiritual is once again seen to transcend the triviality — and wretchedness — of the human occupants of planet Earth.”
Alfonso Rivera, CINEUROPA

“A story of snatched love, an encounter between two very special people.”
Juan Zapater, NOTICIAS DE GIPUZKOA

“Brave, solid and chilling emotional drama that offers a different, unseen point of view on the battle against marginalisation.”
Vassilis Economou, CINEUROPA

“This film has sexual tension. It has death. The camerawork is discrete, skilful, and at times elegant.”
Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“Exudes dignity, anger, cinema, love, and a commentary on what’s good and modern. On what’s real.”
Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“Exquisitely compassionate portrait (…) perhaps the most resonant and empathetic screen testament to the everyday obstacles of transgender existence.”
Guy Lodge, VARIETY

“The film takes its time and everything flows. Sensuality and affectivity go hand in hand in a story brimming with things unsaid yet implicitly understood. We’re skilfully drawn into the mix of emotion, ambiguity, joy and vulnerability surrounding the romance.”
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“A tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief (…) love takes a variety of shapes here, none more pure than any other.”
Guy Lodge, VARIETY

“An in-depth portrait of a hard-charging surfer exploring the fear, courage and ambition that push a man to greatness – and the cost that comes with it.”
Emiliano De Pablos, VARIETY

“Unique, serene, mysterious. Rare, without a doubt.”
Nagore Olkoz, NOTICIAS DE GIPUZKOA
