AMAR

Laura and Carlos love each other as if each day were their last. Driven by the desire to determine her own life and break free from her mother's control, Laura dreams of getting pregnant. Both search for their place in the world but one year later, grown up quite a bit, their deep passion is a memory.

Written and directed by Academy Award® nominated Esteban Crespo ("That Wasn't Me") starring María Pedraza, Pol Monen, Natalia Tena ("Game of Thrones"), Greta Fernández ("The Next Skin") and Gustavo Salmerón.

Ever since they moved to the city and Merche met her boyfriend, Laura's relationship with her mother has changed, and Laura misses the time when they lived in a small town and were real friends. Carlos' family, more traditional and respectful of their son's wishes, tries to support him. Carlos suggests to Laura that they run away together. At first she shows enthusiasm, but soon changes her mind. Gradually the wear and tear of parental guidance and how they understand their own love relationship takes its toll on the couple...
