Pain and Glory (2019) Netflix UK
He tells a series of reunions in the life of Salvador Mallo, a film director on his sunset. Some of them physical, and others remembered, such as their childhood in the 60s, when he emigrated with his parents to Paterna, a town in Valencia, in search of prosperity, as well as the first desire, his first adult love already in Madrid. The 80s, the pain of the rupture of this love when it was still alive and throbbing, writing as the only therapy to forget the unforgettable, the early discovery of cinema, and the void, the immeasurable emptiness in the face of the impossibility of continuing to rolling. "Pain and glory" speaks of creation, the difficulty of separating it from one's life and the passions that give meaning and hope. In the recovery of his past, Salvador finds the urgent need to rewrite.
