José María (50), Clara (18) and Norberto (18) have only two things in common: They are deafblind and they love the water. Actually they have something else, their uniqueness. We are all unique, true, but they are even more so. Jose Maria is an artist, a sculptor who lives with his family on the Galician coast, and whose disability has given him the gift of sublime touch, a superlative ability to mould forms. Clara is an amphibious being who lives between Madrid and the Cadiz coast, a rare species of deep-sea fish who relates to the surface and beyond based on secret, incomprehensible codes. Norberto was born in the Canary Islands and has spent most of his life living and studying at the ONCE School in Madrid.

The town is about to hold a top-level summit to be attended by the major powers of the moment: France, England, Portugal and even the Pope. Although these countries have forced the meeting with the excuse of reaching a peace agreement, the real reason is to invade Spain and split it between them. The Commissioner, Red Eagle?s dire enemy, has hired a Cossack, the best killer of the time, to do away with him.
Álex de la Iglesia
Spain-France
102 min.
The circus monkeys scream wildly inside their cage while, outside, men kill and die in another circus: the ongoing Spanish Civil War. The Stupid Clown, recruited against his will by the Militia, ends up carrying out a bloodbath with a machete among the National soldiers while still wearing his costume. Several years later, during Franco?s dictatorship, Javier, son of the Militian funnyman, finds work as the sad clown in a circus, where he meets an outlandish cast of strange characters like the Human Cannonball, the Elephant Tamer or a quarrelsome couple of dog trainers.

2010 couldn?t come to a worse end for Sergio. It?s New Year?s Eve, with the heaviest snowfall in 30 years, all flights are cancelled and he?s stuck with the other passengers in a roadside hotel for the bells. Sergio will have to work hard to achieve in a single night what he hasn?t managed in several months: to win back his girlfriend Bea before she leaves to work in Germany. All with the help of an improvised group of travellers, a motley crew if ever there was one: Juan Carlitros, a childhood friend and would-be comic; Juanan, a divorcee who arrives in a fury from Punta Cana; and Jimmy, a hotel worker who?s got no-one to bring in the New Year with.

On Sunday 19th October 1997, Pilar Miró died at the age of 57. The news hit the front pages of almost every Spanish newspaper, packed with praise and manifestations of admiration and respect. However, only a few years previously, news referring to her had been quite the opposite; she was accused of favouring friends from her public positions, of being dictatorial, corrupt... Pilar Miró was a film director, general director of the Film Institute, general director of RTVE, but she was above all a woman of her time, a fertile creator and a controversial manager, who represented both a reality and an enigma. Who was that woman who did what few of her sex and generation were able to achieve in Spain?
Jonás Trueba

105 min.
Todas las canciones hablan de mí is a romantic comedy, but without the ?boy meets girl? bit. The premise is more like ?boy tries to forget girl?; not precisely an easy task, particularly when the girl you?ve just broken with pops up in your every memory and you start thinking that every song is about you.
Santiago Segura

In this fourth instalment of the epic Torrentian saga, we find our hero in a delicate situation.
