A middle-aged composer lets a colleague use her home to record a television interview, and when she and her cellist daughter get pulled in amid technical glitches, the apartment becomes a quietly revealing space. Nicolás Pereda turns that premise into a feminist-minded domestic comedy about sexism in professional music,, with Teresita Sánchez as the composer. If you like dry, observational humor with a musician's ear, this compact 70-minute film is an easy Sunday-night pick.
What to expect
A 70-minute Spanish-language film with English subtitles in a BAM cinema. The humor is minimalist and deadpan rather than broad.
Good to know
- BAM sits by the Atlantic Av–Barclays Ctr hub (2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R); the C to Lafayette Av and G to Fulton St are also close.
- These Brooklyn screenings are part of NYFF's borough program, so the crowd skews local and festival-serious.
- Buy through Film at Lincoln Center's NYFF site; festival screenings can go to standby when sold out.
- Fort Greene has plenty of restaurants and bars within a few blocks for a pre- or post-film bite.
