Synopsis

Barcelona.

While visiting his mother, Pau receives a phone call: Alex, his brother who disappeared long ago, has committed suicide. Pau and his mother, who is unaware of what exactly happened, set out for the small Pyrenean village where Alex lived before he took his life. This is a journey down their common past, intimate and painful.

In this part of the world, Pau and his mother will come across those who were part of Alex’s life; they will become familiar with his love affairs, his anger, his world, and, quietly, step by step, they will come to life again and rediscover their own selves. –Cannes Film Festival

Marc Recha created a touchingly human film about loss which is also a beautiful homage to rural Catalonia. One of my favorite Spanish films of the past decade, and I also like the director's name.
