Description

José María Goenaga, Aitor Arregi (ES, 2025, 115′)
Language: Basque, Spanish Subtitles: German, English Summer sun, the beach and parties: 25 years after coming out late in life, 76-year-old Vicente is enjoying his life as an openly gay man in Gran Canaria. But a sudden stroke changes everything: his daughter takes him back to San Sebastián with her and he ends up in a care home. To avoid trouble, he hides his sexuality once more until his new flatmate makes it clear to him that he mustn’t resign himself to this under any circumstances. His desire to return to Maspalomas grows stronger than ever, and he dreams of a fresh start. Maspalomas is a melancholic yet heart-warming comedy-drama and a compelling plea not to give up, even in moments of utter despair.
