To Our Friends

A nuestros amigos

 - 2024
Estreno nacional
After the success of the multi-award-winning Niñato (2017), Adrián Orr portrays in his second feature film the internal and external universe of Sara, a young woman from a working-class neighbourhood who, in her transition to adulthood, is torn between two apparently contradictory environments: the place where she grew up, where she spends her days with her best friend Pedro, and the new circles she forms when she starts her university studies. There she meets Paula, with whom she has a sentimental relationship and who also introduces her to the world of theatre: an element that takes centre stage in the film when she takes part in the play Future Lovers by the collective La Tristura. To Our Friends is an ode to ordinary stories, to youth and the spirit of freedom associated with it. A film that blurs the boundaries between the real and the imagined, inviting us to live with Sara her experiences, feelings and desires.
