The verdict

Audiences rate it 6.7 out of 10 on TMDB across 56 votes — a solid score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 115 minutes.

What it is about

After breaking up with his partner, 76 year-old Vicente leads life the way he likes it in Maspalomas: he spends his days lying in the sun, partying, and looking for pleasure. An unexpected accident obliges him to return to San Sebastián and to the daughter he abandoned years ago. Vicente will have to live in a retirement home where he finds himself driven back into the closet and to conceal a part of himself that he thought was long resolved. In this new environment, Vicente must ask himself if he has enough time left to make his peace with others… and with himself.

What to expect

After an accident, a 76-year-old man who has spent his days sunbathing and cruising in Maspalomas is forced back to San Sebastián and into a retirement home, where he finds himself back in the closet. José Mari Goenaga and Aitor Arregi’s Basque-language drama sits with that quiet, late-life reckoning — what it costs to hide again, and whether there is time left to make things right with the daughter he abandoned. The 6.7 average from 56 audience votes points to a movie that divides viewers more than it sweeps them along; it is slow, interior, and more interested in discomfort than uplift. Screening as part of HKLGFF 2026. In Basque with English subtitles. 115 minutes. Check session listings for certificate and venue.
