by Isabel Coixet
Nat wants to escape her stressful everyday life and retreats to the rural village of La Escapa. There, however, the 30-year-old must constantly contend with the hostility of her landlord and the distrust of the villagers. When she then accepts a questionable sexual offer from her neighbour, awakening an obsessive passion within her, not only does her life change, but so do her values. Director Isabel Coixet's intense romantic drama UN AMOR is derived from the best-selling book of the same name. It explores the nature of gender roles and existential doubts.
