Film Club: The Room Next Door

Enchanting Elsa arrives in 2004 on sunny Lanzarote to escape a life crisis and seek a fresh start. But this story is written by aging acclaimed director Raúl - and the events and characters suspiciously resemble the fates of his loved ones. They begin to recognize themselves in the narrative and ask uncomfortable questions: where does inspiration end and privacy begin?

With his most personal film, Pedro Almodóvar returned to the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
