An Unexpected Love
After 25 years of marriage, and after their son has moved out to study abroad, Marco and Ana find themselves at a crossroads. Suddenly they both realise that their feeling for one another are no longer the same, and that time has come to re-discover themselves, and perhaps also each other? Or is the grass actually greener on the other side of the fence? An Unexpected Love is a brilliant romantic comedy, and a special treat for those among our audience who have seen their children grow up and move out. Two of Latin-America's finest actors play terrifically in the leading roles in this smart, funny, and heart-warming drama that had the honour of opening this year's San Sebastian film festival in Spain.
