A gripping and frank examination of elder queer desire.
After living a carefree life in queer haven Maspalomas, 76-year-old Vincente suffers a stroke and necessity sends him to a care home, where he is made to repress his sexuality. Furthermore, he must face his shortcomings as a parent while reconnecting with his estranged daughter.
Tender Basque-language drama beautifully contrasting the uninhibited freedom of Gran Canaria with the emotional confinement of San Sebastián. With extraordinary honesty, depth and sensitivity, this is a gripping, frank examination of elder queer desire and ode to hope, proving it’s never too late to fix the past.
