SPA24 La Casa

Synopsis

Winner of six awards at the 2024 Málaga Film Festival, La Casa is a reflective exploration of duty, regret and family ties, starring David Verdaguer (also in JOKES & CIGARETTES) and Luis Callejo (OUT IN THE OPEN SPA21).

After the death of their father, three siblings return to the family home where they grew up. They intend to sell it and follow their very different paths in life, but as memories begin to surface, a fear of getting rid of the past and an impulse to reunite grows. Memories intertwine with the present until long buried feelings begin to overflow. As a last tribute to their father, they may still have the chance to make up for lost time.

Adapted from the graphic novel by Paco Roca, director and co-writer Álex Montoya delivers a bittersweet journey imbued with nostalgia and a naturalistic light, that captures the universal comforting yet strange sensation of returning home.
