The August Virgin

When what you're looking for in your holidays is peace. In the tradition of Rohmer's depiction of summer, Jonás Trueba delivers a small ode to an empty summer Madrid, through a woman in search of a physical and metaphysical restart of her life.
Synopsis
Eva, adrift and confused, is about to turn 33 and her decision to spend the August holiday in Madrid rather than in a sea resort will result in a journey of self-reflection. We follow her through an emotional roller coaster of edifying revelations and unscheduled encounters that captures the subterranean vibe of daily city life.

Απλή, λιτή και καλοκαιρινή!
Το τέλος είναι λίγο αλλόκοτο αλλά σε γενικές γραμμές είναι ευχάριστη ταινία.

Δροσερή, καλοκαιρινή και υπαρξιακή
Ήταν τόσο ευχάριστη! Σαν να έκανα ταξίδι στην Μαδρίτη. Οι ερμηνείες φυσικές και οι αγωνίες πραγματικές και ανθρώπινες. Μου άρεσε πολύ!
