and a Day
Synopsis
Multi-award winning director Gracia Querejeta returns with her heartfelt family drama that comments on the complex nature of parent-child relations. Single-mother Margo (Maribel Verdú) is at her wit’s end trying to make sense of her teenage son Jon’s (Arón Piper) rebellion. After Jon is expelled from school, Margo decides to send him off with his estranged grandfather Max (Tito Valverde), a retired military officer who now leads a reclusive life in a small coastal town. Max believes he could teach the restless teen a bit of discipline. But it is the tragic death of a young boy in town that finally brings them both to take a hard look at their own demons. Thoughtfully observed and superbly acted, this intimate family portrait ultimately raises questions about parental prejudice, revealing that, sometimes, it is the imperfect adults who might need to learn a few things from the younger generation.
