Always Winter

Siempre es Invierno

Official selection of Seminci 

From renowned writer-director David Trueba comes ALWAYS WINTER, based on his own novel Blitz, a short yet poignant narrative work laced with sharp sarcasm, post-traumatic absurdity and a deeply flawed protagonist who, despite his miseries, has moments of unexpected tenderness. The film explores a complex emotional journey that is peppered with absurd situations, challenging social taboos by depicting the relationship between a younger man and an older woman. 

Miguel, a young landscape architect, travels to Belgium to participate in a conference. His girlfriend dumps him there, and he meets Olga, an older woman that makes him reconsider his personal and professional life. The encounter causes a “blitz” (lightning) of understanding that deeply transforms the way he sees his world and his future.
