STOCKHOLM

At a party, a boy professes to a girl that he has truly fallen in love with her at first sight. Strangely melancholy and guarded, she refuses to believe him. He playfully tails her home, and as they walk through the night in Madrid, they share their desires, secrets, and maybe a few little lies.

An independent gem of the new Spanish cinema, Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s Stockholm perambulates through nighttime Madrid. Practically filmed in real time and reminiscent of Before Sunset, this heartfelt film follows two young people as they confront love and loneliness on the streets and under the sheets.
