Bitter Christmas (15)

Dir. Pedro Almodóvar | 2026 | 111 mins | Spanish with English Subtitles

To break his writer's block, a filmmaker draws desperate inspiration from his closest relationships in this rich Almodóvar melodrama.

Raúl is a cult filmmaker in the midst of a creative crisis. When tragedy strikes one of his closest collaborators, he draws inspiration from it to write his next film. Little by little, he imagines Elsa, a filmmaker in the midst of writing a script, whose journey begins to mirror his own.

The two filmmakers become two sides of the same character, in a game of mirrors where the raw honesty of Almodóvar's autofiction reveals as much as it destroys. But how far can one go to tell a story?
