炽热八月,马德里人纷纷外出避暑,将整个城市留给游客和一年一度的圣母节。即将满三十三岁的艾娃来到城里,拉着行李住进短租公寓。她四处漫游闲晃,探访故友、邂逅新人,与朋友河畔野餐、跟邻居狂欢跳舞,恣意地探索这个城市,就像每个初来乍到的旅人。然而,当度假的欢欣渐渐沉淀,不论是放逐他乡的徘徊,或是因街头巧遇前任而被拨乱的心绪,都让艾娃忍不住反覆沉吟,在这座陌生又熟悉的城市里,她该如何活出真实的自己?宛如侯麦《绿光》的诗意再现,透过贴近女主角的生活脉动,感受马德里随性怡然的城市气息。导演荷纳斯楚巴与女主角共同编剧,谱写出这则属于当代女性的情感诗篇,从爱情光谱扩展至信仰、文化等多元面向,细腻描绘难以言喻的内在心绪,营造温暖而不灼人、缤纷且柔和的旅行书写。 Quién lo impide is a call to change our perception of adolescents and youths; our idea of those born in the early 21st century who have recently reached adulthood; those who now seem guilty of everything as they themselves see their hopes dashed. Somewhere between documentary, fiction and pure testimonial record, the young adolescents show themselves the way they really are, the way we rarely see them, or the way they let us see them: taking advantage of the film camera to show off the best of themselves and renew our trust in the future; from fragility and emotion, with humour, intelligence, beliefs and ideas. Because the young people who speak to us about love, friendship, politics or education refer not only to their own situation, but to the things that always matter to us, at any age. Quién lo impide is a film about ourselves: about what we were, what we are and what we will continue to be.
