About this event
Book tickets for two or more of our Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival 2026 films in the same transaction to receive a discount! This Scottish premiere screening will have a short 5-minute introduction and will be followed by a discussion with Nuria Capdevila (University of Exeter) and Mar Diestro-Dópido. María Ángeles, a 79-year-old Spanish woman living alone in Tangier, Morocco, leads a quiet life filled with memories in her modest apartment on Calle Málaga. Her peaceful routine is disrupted when her daughter, Clara, arrives from Madrid determined to sell the family home to ease her financial troubles. Unwilling to leave the city that shaped her, María Ángeles fights to keep her home and reclaim the objects that tell the story of her life. Against the backdrop of contemporary Tangier, her act of resistance becomes a journey of rediscovery—of love, desire, and an unexpected sense of late freedom that challenges the expectations others have imposed on her.
