Solitary Fragments

La Soledad

Adela, a woman in her thirties and single mother of a young boy, moves from a small Spanish village to Madrid, in hope of a new, more liberated life. She shares a big apartment with a much younger couple, Carlos and Ines, who is in turn the younger daughter of a family who is united by a strong metrearchical figure. A constellation of people who try to test new models of co-existence and kinship, sensing that we are all designed to suffer and overcome suffering.
