— from Orcas Island Film Festival —
Up-and-coming Spanish filmmaker Jonás Trueba’s new film, The August Virgin (La virgen de agosto), is a perfect summer movie, an Éric Rohmer-esque love letter to Madrid and affairs of the heart.
THE AUGUST VIRGIN
Spain | 2h 5min | Drama | 2019
Eva is not satisfied with her life. In an act of faith, she decides to stay in Madrid over the summer, when all the other locals leave. Through events and encounters that take place during the August festivities and night-time fiestas, Eva will discover that life still has opportunities for her…
A summertime coming-of-age tale for the thirty-somethings.
