What We Wanted To Be

In front of a cinema, an impossible love story begins and continues in a café. It could have ended with them together – if only life were like a film.

What We Wanted To Be balances between romantic comedy and existential drama. Two strangers invent a story together, and the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur. At the heart of the film are two outstanding performances by Eleonora Wexler and Luis Rubio, who play the lead roles with remarkable chemistry. A melancholic and heartfelt film about creating safe spaces to escape the hardships of everyday life.
