Después de la aclamada serie Querer presentada el año pasado, Alauda Ruiz de Azúa vuelve al Festival Internacional de Cine de San Sebastián con su nueva película Los domingos, que luchará por la Concha de Oro en la sección oficial. La directora repite así en la Zinemaldia, acompañando a los títulos españoles Los tigres de Alberto Rodríguez, Maspalomas de Jose Mari Goenaga y Aitor Arregi, e Historias del buen valle de José Luis Guerin.

Los domingos narra la historia de Ainara (Blanca Soroa), una joven brillante e idealista de 17 años que ha de decidir qué carrera universitaria estudiará. O, al menos, eso espera su familia que haga. Pero Ainara lleva otro plan en mente: la joven manifiesta que se siente cada vez más cerca de Dios y que se plantea abrazar la vida de monja de clausura.

Spain’s San Sebastián Festival, the biggest film event in the Spanish-speaking world, has added a fourth Spanish title to its main competition: Movistar Plus+ original “Sundays” (“Los domingos”), the latest film from Alauda Ruiz de Azuá.

Ruiz de Azúa turned heads with her first feature, Berlin Panorama player “Lullaby” (“Cinco Lobitos”), an eminently grounded mother-daughter maternity drama which was endorsed by Pedro Almodóvar as “undoubtedly the best debut in Spanish cinema for years.”

Ruiz de Azúa’s first TV series, the family drama/courtroom thriller “Querer,” world premiered to acclaim at San Sebastián last year and went on to take best series in main competition at Lille’s Series Mania, Europe’s premier TV festival.

Co-produced and sold internationally by France’s Le Pacte, “Sundays” presents a family quandary: Ainara, 17, brilliant, and an idealist, just has to choose what she studies at university before going on, foreseeably, to an illustrious career,...

Played by Sofía Otero, the child at the center of Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren’s 20,000 Species of Bees knows something that many children do, and that adults work hard to suppress: that it takes very little to slide from one gender to another. Merely having long hair, for instance, and not correcting someone (mis-)taking a supposed boy for a girl can suffice.

Armed with this intuitive knowledge, the film’s protagonist is plunged into the pleasures and terrors of being seen as a girl during her summer vacation in the Basque Country with her family. This is a child who takes on many names, depending on who strangers take the child for and how safe she feels in her surroundings. Is a child not an ocean of multiplicities looking to play? As the title of Urresola Solaguren’s film suggests, and one of the local girls tells Coco: There are 20,000 species of bees,...
