Pretextos

2008 · 90 min

A quiet, somber chamber piece about two people drifting apart inside a shared life, carried by restrained performances and a lingering ache of unspoken disappointment.

Directed by
Sílvia Munt
Overview
Marriage of Vienna, theater director, and Daniel, a geriatric physician, is in crisis. Both cling to their professional activity to fill the void in their lives agonizing. Their worlds seem antagonistic, their needs, different. Account of the worst loneliness: loneliness in the company, and on promises unfulfilled desires can not be met, but it becomes a good excuse to continue living despite everything.
