In the City

FROM THE LINER NOTES

The new film from the director of Nico & Dani. In The City is an ensemble story of a group of thirtysomething friends in Barcelona who have many secrets. While single Sofia lives a fantasy life of romance and unconscious lies, Tomas is having a secret affair with one of his students. Married Irene finds herself attracted to her friend Silvia. Although the friends spend much time together, they maintain their secrets and often fail to connect. One day, however, when they come together for a meal, emotions spill over.

Director Cesc Gay’s idea for In the City came to him at a meal with friends: a private, secret look at a group of characters who have a number of emotional experiences they never talk about.....from that inspiration came this ensemble story of a group of thirty-something friends in Barcelona.
