Spanish Film Week 2024: Saturn Return

Spain’s Academy Award submission for Best International Feature Film tells the story of Los Planetas, one of the most important bands of Spanish popular music, but is also an homage to Granada and a social portrait of a time that is close to but very different from today.

Late 1990s. Art and culture are in full swing in Granada. Against that background, an indie band is about to change the music scene in Spain. Just before creating their new album, the band is going through its worst possible moment. The bass player and the drummer have abandoned the band. Only the singer and the guitarist remain and the latter has ventured into a dangerous spiral of selfdestruction from which it seems like he cannot escape. The responsibility for the band’s survival is now in the hands of the singer, who must also face the reticence about the discography, confronting the complex writing and recording processes of a third album that might result in the consolidation of the band or its destruction, forever.

The organizers recommend this movie for an adult audience only.
