LA BOLA NEGRA

Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca only wrote four pages of the epic La bola negra. Taking these four pages and the play La piedra oscura by Alberto Conejero as their basis for the film, Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi follow three generations of men across pivotal moments in Spanish history, bound by pain, desire, and love. Carlos (Milo Quifes) longs to belong in a fractured Spain. Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente) finds connection across enemy lines. And Alberto (Carlos González) uncovers a long-buried family secret — one that finally gives voice to truths the past tried to erase.
