Luis, Vito and Fran are a trio of Spanish dreamers. They're headed to Paris in an old VW camper borrowed from a family friend to search for love and adventure. En route they ruminate and philosophize, joke around and listen to music. Each is forced to confront some truth about themselves, as well as their attitudes about life and love - particularly in balancing the desire for romantic idealism with the realities of compromise. Jonas Trueba returns to the emotional terrain of his award-winning The Wishful Thinkers and Every Song Is About Me with a glorious Rohmer-infused coming of age narrative which gently challenges a romantic ethos that appears anything but passé. A work of imaginative dexterity on the fly, The Romantic Exiles is an engaging celebration of the restless spirit that drives the three men and a playful contemplation of culture's role in helping us make sense of life's absurdities. CGAC's premiere screenings of this breezy summer idyll are timed for you to bid a wistful adieu to the carefree season of the year.

Latin Grammy nominee Miren Iza, leader of Spanish indiepop sensation Tulsa, will perform live three songs inspired by the film at the end of its screenings on 8/26 & 8/27. Director Jonas Trueba and Producer Javier Lafuente will introduce the screenings on 8/26 & 8/27 and do a Q&A with the audience.
