The curt party at home #8

#Stay at Home

Bares, what places, so nice to talk to… How we miss them so much, The Film Library proposes to us this week in The Curt Party at Home a series of shorts that develop their stories, totally or partially, in restaurants, bars and cafes where we have all seen life happen at some point. Do couples have to have the same tastes in order to function?? Hydrolysis by Sergi Miralles asks this question, reminding us of those times when we went to concerts and chatted quietly on the terraces. Cruces by David Martínez and Pablo Esparza places us in a roadside inn with its long bar full of glass tops, a TV that accompanies lonely beings and a slot machine that plays background music. In this temple of truckers and passing travelers, that languishes due to the construction of the highway, A fortuitous friendship is born that opens up a few questions.. In Beer (“beer” in Czech), by Elche director Jaume Quiles, The only word that a very meticulous farmer and a waitress pass between each other is precisely that, "beers". Apollo 81 by Óscar Bernàcer shows the ecosystem of a bar where people drink, if how, music is played (¡de Pollock!) and… it is also played. But not, neither Truc nor dominoes, to a card game that explores the complexity of dating and relationships with humor and surrealism. Who doesn't bet, does not win. Finally, thirty seconds by Alejandro Portaz is a thirty-second encounter with that lifelong waiter capable of reciting the menu from top to bottom without spilling a drop of beer from the twenty beers he carries on the tray with just one hand.. Pure art! AU
