“Delicately unpicks the secret lives of women…superbly understated.”—Jonathan Holland, Variety
Adela (Almarcha) and her young son abandon rural life for the adventure of Madrid, but an act of terrorism turns her new life into a nightmare. In a parallel story, the family of widowed shop-owner Antonia (Martinez) begins to disintegrate in a dispute over a loan. SOLITARY FRAGMENTS premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and swept the Goya Awards, Spain’s Oscar-equivalent, with wins including Best Picture and Best Director.
