The August Virgin
La virgen de agosto
2019
Synopsis
In the hot summer, when Madrileños leave their homes in droves to escape the insufferable heat, the center of Madrid is left abandoned. That is, except for the tourists and a handful of undaunted locals—and those who can’t see the way forward, like Eva, a thirty-something in search of herself.
Editorial
Set in a sweltering August in Madrid, Jonás Trueba’s sparkling slice-of-life story is fuelled by a charmingly footloose performance from Itsaso Arana. This episodic portrait of reunions and new encounters explores how a perceived time of stagnation can allow for the most surprising personal growth.
