Autofiction

The new Almodóvar, selected for the official competition at Cannes 2026. Isn't it high time for a Golden Palm? Raúl is a cult filmmaker in the midst of a creative crisis. When tragedy strikes one of his closest collaborators, he draws inspiration from it to write his next film. Little by little, he imagines Elsa, a director in the midst of writing a script, whose journey begins to mirror his own. The two filmmakers become two sides of the same character, in a game of mirrors where the unflinching nature of autofiction reveals as much as it destroys. But how far can one go to tell a story?
