Instituto Cervantes movie night: O que arde (Fire will come)
Friday 24 March from 6pm to 8pm
Winner of a Cannes Jury Prize, this haunting slow-burn drama follows ex-con Amador returning home to live with his elderly mother after serving time in prison for arson. As an outbreak of fires encroaches on his community, he struggles to readjust to rural life under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
Rendering the richly forested Galician countryside with a patient, painterly eye, the film’s meditative silences and smoldering embers presage an ominous future ahead.
Be on time: The movie will start at 6pm so please arrive before. After 6:30pm, the ground floor door will be closed and the elevator unable to go up to the Instituto Cervantes.
Terms and conditions: Please, note that fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, except in the event of cancellations by the organiser where full refund will apply.
