The Other Way Around - English subtitled
A non-romantic comedy in which a couple who have been together for fifteen years decide to part ways and celebrate this separation with a grand party in their hometown Madrid. Just like a wedding, but the other way around.
Ale is a film director and Alex is an actor. After fifteen years together, they decide to go their separate ways and begin to act on an old joke made by Ale’s father, that separations – and not unions – are cause for celebration. They announce their break-up party to numerous members of friends and family, in a bid to try and convince themselves of the reality of their separation. However, the couple’s plan is soon shown to be fraught with complications, because breaking up in the real world is not always as easy as it appears on the screen. Winner of the Europa Cinemas Label Award at Cannes.
