The Reconquest (La reconquista)
(103 min; 2016; Spanish with English subtitles)
Director: Jonás Trueba
 
Recipient of the Award for Best Director, Special Mention & Violette d’Or, Toulouse Cinespaña 2016; and Special Award, Turia Awards 2017
 
Manuela and Olmo meet in the future as they had promised fifteen years earlier as teenagers, when they lived their first love. La reconquista is a film about a quest for time; or about the awareness of time: of time lost and time recovered; about what we remember about ourselves and what we don't remember; about the words, gestures and feelings to which we remain faithful, because they define and compel us today, yesterday and tomorrow
