As part of the Reflets du cinéma Hispanique festival
Under the scorching sun of Maspalomas in the Canary Islands, Vicente has been enjoying a carefree retirement for twenty-five years. But an accident rips him from his paradise. Repatriated to Donostia, he is placed by his daughter in a rest home where time seems to stand still. Forced to conceal his identity, he is obsessed by a single idea: to escape... and regain the freedom of Maspalomas.
Maspalomas is a beautiful film about old age, full of elegance and delicacy. The camera focuses on the psychology of the main character and those around him. In the twilight of one's life, how does one go about hiding one's identity? The film brilliantly answers this question. - Atmosphères 53
