Fin de siglo

Synopsis

An Argentinian from New York and a Spaniard living in Berlin hook up by chance in Barcelona. What seems like a one-night encounter between two strangers becomes an epic relationship spanning decades, depicted in a nonlinear narrative in which time and space refuse to play by the rules. Lucio Castro’s inventive and enigmatic debut feature is consistently surprising, turning a love story into a cosmic voyage with no clear beginning or end.
