About This Movie

So, 'Ha sido un placer' from 2015. It’s this rather introspective piece mixing drama and a touch of sci-fi. The premise is simple but heavy – a young couple seeking refuge by a river as the world teeters on the brink of collapse. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere. You feel the tension of impending doom, yet there’s a strange serenity in their interactions. The performances are subtle, almost understated, which adds to the film's weight. What stands out is how it explores themes of connection and fear in the face of the unknown, all while relying on minimal practical effects to enhance its emotional depth rather than distract from it.
