Synopsis

On a hot day in July 1987, in the vacant city, Miguel, a feared and respected senior newspaper writer, sets up a meeting in a café with Ángela, a young journalism student. From the first instant, there develops between them an unevenly matched duel that encircles desire, inspiration, talent and professional perspectives. Forced to remain together on a very particular day, both will try to survive the emotional friction. –San Sebastián International Film Festival

Marfil

MADRID 1987 é um duelo de gerações em inusitado território, nascido do desejo sexual, de um cinema espanhol ousado, da nostalgia de um tempo e de um colossal testemunho de uma peleja entre dois atores em choque, em êxtase, em tensão expressiva em cada plano e silêncio, nos olhares comedidos de Valverde, na palavra melancólica de Sacristán. Tudo acima do bem e do mal.
