Best of Fest Encores
Eva and Carmen are two women who meet in the worst place: the doctor’s office, waiting to hear the results of their cancer screenings. So Carmen has an idea: why don’t she and Eva rent an RV with her best pal, Mar, make a list of things they’ve always wanted to do… and do them.
Carmen (Victoria Abril) is the positive type: whatever’s thrown her way, she battles life in stride. With her newly heartbroken friend Mar (Silvia Alonso), and her new friend and medical confidant Eva (María León), the three women take off in an RV in search of new adventures, without worrying whether or not they’re going to live or die. Isn’t that the right way to live, whether or not you have a terminal disease? Álvaro Díaz Lorenzo’s dramedy about sisterhood in the face of the unthinkable is playful and heartfelt, and sure to be one of the festival’s crowd pleasers.
