Ilocos por el cine- 9th Spanish Film Festival

It was supposed to be a trio date, unfortunately sissy rina got work. So it turned out to be a bestfriend day :)
It was shine's bright idea to attend the Spanish Film Festival. When I heard about it I was really excited, and very eager to know the featured films. A week before I was already reading the plots of the movies and checked their schedules. But due to time constraints, it was only until yesterday that we were able to see the movie.

The movie we saw was not our first choice, since we agreed to watch the 4:30 screening. but due to series of events, we ended up watching the 9:30 pm screening.

So first we had our dinner at the Kitchen, one of our favorites resto in GB3.




Then after 2 hours, its movie time!!





Nacidas para surfrif (born to suffer)Synopsis: 
Flora is 72 years old and has spent most of her life putting the needs of her family ahead of her own. Flora has never married or had children, and when her sister died unexpectedly, she took in her three nieces and raised them to adulthood. Now that she's growing old and having trouble caring for herself, Flora imagines that her nieces will live up to their familial obligations, but she's horrified to discover the women aren't much interested in helping her, and plan to stick her in the Catholic retirement home where Marta works when the time comes. Flora is appalled, and decides the only person she can truly rely on is her longtime housekeeper, Purita. Over the years, Flora has come to think of Purita as a member of the family, and to see to it that Purita will get her home when she dies, Flora comes up with an unusual plan -- she'll take Purita as her wife.


a very weird plot.  a marriage for convenience. very unconventional story, it makes you wonder. 

At first I thought it was a serious and very MMKish movie but it was actually funny, slightly touching and irritating at the same time. Actually I have an indifferent feeling with the plot,  maybe because of the fact that they got married and they are both mujer. So I don't know what to say, so its really weird and crazy!

Nevertheless, it was a nice feeling watching a movie wherein you don't have an idea who they are and what they are saying (ofcourse unless you read the subtitle). To top it all, I really enjoyed watching the film and the feel of being part a Spanish Film Festival!

Esto era la experiencia de película realmente muy agradable. la lengua usada era realmente el toque de luz.



til next year! :)
