Popular director Cesc Gay follows the success of NICO AND DANI with this provocative sophisticated drama about relationships communication and lack thereof. Set in Barcelona the ensemble cast of thirtysomethings plays out an intricate dance of romance friendship intimacy and lies. The dialogue carries the action with most of the exposition taking place offscreen highlighting the ways that people manage to discuss a great deal but fail to connect. All of the friends harbor secrets including a housewife with lesbian feelings for her good friend a single woman addicted to a fantasy of romance and a man having an affair with a student. Things come to a head when the group comes together for a meal; emotions finally become too much for each to contain. This subtle film features an exquisite script and is beautifully lit and photographed; it is carried however by the performances of the actors each of whom creates a nuanced fully human character who will not fail to surprise and refresh
