Marcos tient la rubrique culturelle d'un grand quotidien de Madrid. Pour réaliser un reportage, il visite un cirque installé à la périphérie de la ville et assiste, médusé, à l'extraordinaire numéro d'adresse d'une écuyère, Ana, aussi belle qu'habile lorsque, juchée sur un cheval lancé au galop, elle tire sur des cibles mouvantes. Marcos et Ana passent la nuit ensemble. Appelé à Barcelone, le jeune homme se sépare de l'écuyère le soir même où celle-ci est attaquée et violée par trois petits voyous qu'elle venait d'éconduire. A son retour, Marcos s'étonne de ne plus trouver trace de celle qu'il aime et dont il ignore qu'elle erre dans la ville, une arme en main, prête à tout pour se venger...

Noviembre

Sep 26, 2003
Impelled by a spirit which still preserves a patina of idealism, Alfredo arrives to Madrid with the intention to create "a performance that is free, straight from the heart, capable of making people feel alive". His concept of what acting should be begins beyond the stage, out in the streets face to face with the public. Outdoors, in any town square, in a park or in the city's most commercial street, Alfredo and his troupe November start the show; demons to provoke passers-by, displays of social conscience, actions taken to the extreme to put the forces of law and order on full alert. There are no limits, no censorship; only ideas which are always valid so long as the public ceases to be the public and becomes part of the show swept by surprise, fear, tears or laughter. Theater as life, life as theater… there is no longer any difference.

Todo lo que tú quieras
5.8
Leo is immediately set adrift by his new found responsibilities as a single parent, a feeling that is made doubly distressing when Dafne, herself understandably confused and heartbroken by her mother's absence, asks for an "artificial" mother to help her fall asleep at night. It is here that Mañas takes the road less traveled, but to write any more about the plot line he introduces would be unfair to both the viewer and filmmaker alike. Suffice it to say that Leo's actions are both surprising and potentially dangerous, as they require Leo to subsume his own identity to the point where he nearly loses it.
