Planning to marry, Álex and Virginia buy a flat off-plan on the outskirts of a big city. They pool all their savings to make the downpayment, and take out a 40-year mortgage. Only a few months before moving in, the work stops and the area is cordoned off. Álex wants a solution and will do whatever it takes to get his home and live the life he's always dreamt of.

Rodolfo and Petrita have been together for twelve years. They need a place to live if they're to get married, but finding one is impossible. Rodolfo sublets from Doña Martina, an old woman about to die, something the landlord is hoping will happen soon so that he can empty the house and demolish the building. Friends recommend that Rodolfo adopt a heroic approach: marry Doña Martina and wait out the short time she has left to inherit the lease. At first he resists, but his conviction wavers as time goes by.

Ki-taek’s whole family is out of work and takes great interest in the lifestyle of the extraordinarily rich Park family.

98 min.
A pragmatic psychoanalyst loses faith in conventional therapy methods and starts pushing boundaries with his patients. Everything seems to work - until a writer with a creative block walks into his office.
Maxi Gutierrez
Argentina
77 min.
Cyrano en mi cabeza / Cyrano in My Head follows the time-honoured Argentinian actor Gabriel Goity as he embarks on the challenge of playing Cyrano de Bergerac, the character who triggered his vocation at the age of 16. As the work becomes a theatre phenomenon, the role morphs into a private battle obliging him to face his fears, his limits and his search for truth on stage. More than a backstage, the film is a journey into the fragile world of performance.

Although the whole world recognises her career and the spectators applaud her talent, Isabel Coixet lives in a continuous doubt that pushes her to continue exploring her contradictions. To what extent does recognition or success quench the creative thirst? From where does she get that pressing need to always try to go further? These are some of the questions that Coixet, voicing her thoughts out loud to the camera, leaves floating in the air.

Series
In the 80s, a young Ferran Adrià arrives in the kitchens of elBulli almost by chance. What started out as an unexpected opportunity becomes the beginning of a gastronomic revolution that will forever transform contemporary cuisine. Decades later, in 2025, Glòria returns to Cataluña after her father's death. The reunion with her niece Lola and inheritence of the family restaurant, Can Canabach, obliges them to face the wounds of the past. Beyond elBulli’s culinary revolution, Gènesi highlights traditional Catalan cuisine, haute cuisine in Catalonia, local produce and the landscape.
Marcelo Piñeyro
Argentina
115 min.
The film is born on the threshold where the theatre becomes cinema. Without documenting the process, or explaining it, the film invents its own language. Calixto Bieito's radical approach finds a new thrust in the camera of Marcelo Piñeyro. The camera doesn't look in from the outside: it enters, listens, accentuates and reveals details invisible from the stalls. A hybrid experience, suspended between reality and fiction, where the two languages merge to tell a reinvented truth.

18th-century Spanish America. Deep in the tropical jungle near the Iguazú Falls, Jesuit missionary Father Gabriel follows in the footsteps of a fellow Jesuit who was crucified after winning over the local community with nothing but his faith and an oboe. Welcomed by the Guaraní people, Gabriel establishes the San Carlos mission. Among his followers is Rodrigo Mendoza, a former slave trader, mercenary and murderer who, seeking redemption, joins the mission and finds a way to atone among his former victims.
