Beautiful young couple Alejandro (Álex García) and Natalia (Natalia de Molina, Living is Easy With Eyes Closed) face an impasse over the lingering effects of an unexpected encounter, one that has left Natalia feeling very aroused. Middle-aged José- Luis (Luis Bermejo) accidentally discovers a new form of pleasure in his relationship with demanding wife Paloma (Mari Paz Sayago). A routine task for single call- centre employee Sandra (Alexandra Jiménez) turns unexpectedly erotic, while Maria (Candela Peña, A Gun in Each Hand) accidentally discovers just how attractive her husband Antonio (Luis Callejo) can be, albeit when at his most vulnerable.

WHILE AT WAR
Starring Karra Elejalde, Eduard Fernández, Santi Prego, Nathalie Poza, Luis Bermejo, Tito Valverde, Patricia López, Inma Cuevas, Carlos Serrano-Clark and Luis Zahera. Directed by Alejandro Amenábar.

It’s July, 1936. Nationalist forces take to the streets of Salamanca, challenging the authority of the democratically elected Second Spanish Republic, and arresting the city’s mayor for the crime of being Republican. However, the esteemed Miguel de Unamuno author, professor, and rector, pays the uprising little mind: for all his wisdom and experience, this great man of letters doesn’t believe that his country is under imminent threat.

Initially defying his friends and family by publicly supporting the rebellion, it’s not until his colleagues are rounded up that Miguel begins to reconsider his principles, hoping he can exert his considerable influence to bring reason before it’s too late.
