Un Amor
Spanish drama by Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me, Elegy) about the fortunes of a young woman seeking refuge in a tiny Catalan village community with strict social norms. Based on the bestseller by Sara Mesa.
Escaping her overwhelming life in the city, thirty year old Natalia finds refuge in the small village of La Escapa, deep in the Spanish countryside. In a rustic derelict house, flanked by a wild and clumsy dog at her side, the young woman aims to build a new life. When confronted with the hostility of her landlord and the distrust of the local villagers, Nat finds herself giving in to an unsettling sexual proposal from her neighbour Andreas. From this strange and conflicting encounter sparks a devouring and obsessive passion that will consume Nat fully, forcing her to reconsider the woman she thought she was.
UN AMOR is a moving account of existential doubt and the transformative power of carnal desire, exploring the subversive nature of gender roles and the fundamental, fascinating question what love is.
