Bitter Christmas

«You’re confusing fiction with reality.»

Pedro Almodóvar · 112 min · Spain

DramaComedy

After her mother dies in December, advertising director Elsa immerses herself in work to cope. When a panic attack forces her to take a break, she decides to travel to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia. The story of these women run parallel to that of a screenwriter and film director, exploring how life and fiction are inseparably linked, sometimes painfully so.
