Official Competition

2021 · 114 min

A sly, talky backstage comedy that keeps you watching two huge egos circle each other with dry wit and quiet menace.

Tagline: The best director, the best actors, the best idea?
Overview: When a billionaire entrepreneur impulsively decides to create an iconic movie, he demands the best. Renowned filmmaker Lola Cuevas is recruited to mastermind this ambitious endeavour. Completing the all-star team are two actors with massive talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero and radical theatre actor Iván Torres. Both are legends, but not exactly best friends. Through a series of increasingly eccentric trials set by Lola, Félix and Iván must confront not only each other but also their own legacies. Who will be left when the cameras finally start rolling?
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Art, identity, obsession, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
