Pretextos

Viena (Munt) is a theater director about to embark on her most ambitious production. Her husband Daniel (Ramon Madaula) is a doctor in a geriatric clinic. The couple might be in love, except that they can't stand each other; each lives intensely in a world the other can barely enter. To fill the void, Viena turns to her lead actor Ricardo (Francesc Garrido), whose role in both the play and in Viena's life keeps slipping between fiction and reality. For Daniel, there's Eva (Laia Marull), a pretty nurse who expresses a connection and compassion for her patients that's the opposite of Daniel's clinical detachment.
