The Days to Come
Why this pick
Like The August Virgin, it finds major emotional change in an unhurried present tense, using naturalistic conversations, Barcelona streets, and small social encounters to make uncertainty feel quietly alive.

Why this pick
Like The August Virgin, it finds major emotional change in an unhurried present tense, using naturalistic conversations, Barcelona streets, and small social encounters to make uncertainty feel quietly alive.
Why this pick
Another Trueba film, it shares the tender Madrid atmosphere, literary yet natural dialogue, and patient attention to two people testing what remains between memory, desire, and the present.
Why this pick
A deceptively small transition becomes a finely observed emotional web: close quarters, glancing encounters, and a playful, unsettled sensitivity to the unspoken shifts between friends and strangers.
Why this pick
For its delicate observational pace and faith in implication: a young woman’s interior life emerges through rooms, conversations, and intervals of silence rather than conventional dramatic explanation.
Why this pick
Though more overtly political, its long, lived-in conversations and attention to communal spaces offer a similarly rich sense of Spanish life unfolding through talk, time, and accidental encounters.

01 / THE STORY
Young Eva makes her decision to stay in Madrid for the month of August an act of faith. She needs to feel things differently and think of summer as a time of opportunity. On days of festivities and verbenas, while events and encounters take place, Eva will discover that she still has time, that an opportunity can still be given.
