La vieja música

1985 · 108 min

A gentle, unhurried character piece where quiet longing and small-town warmth slowly surface beneath an amateur coach's fish-out-of-water comedy.

Overview: The new coach of the basketball team of Lugo arrives from Uruguay. He really knows nothing about training a basketball team so he keeps the previous coach on and in the meantime tries to learn from videos and books, but his real reason for coming to Spain was to find out about an old lost love.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, earnest and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, memory, identity, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
