That time we started a (small) fire

About This Movie

So, 'That Time We Started a (Small) Fire' is this really tender romance set against the backdrop of springtime in Madrid. It captures that heady feeling of new love, you know? Emilio and Mia are both kind of lost in the city, which really adds to the atmosphere. The pacing is gentle, allowing their relationship to unfold organically. It’s not just about the romance, though; there's this underlying theme of impermanence that hits hard, especially as their connection deepens. The performances are raw and relatable, making you feel every moment of their joy and impending heartbreak. Practical effects are minimal, relying more on the beauty of the city and the chemistry between the leads, which is what makes it stand out for me.
