Julio Medem : 2015

Her heart already bruised by her husband's decision to spend the summer away from Madrid with his young lover, Magda is informed that she has breast cancer. Her kindly doctor holds out hope for Magda's survival, but she'll need painful radiation treatments and a mastectomy. The very day Magda learns of her diagnosis, she attends her little boy's soccer game. It's there that she meets Arturo, a scout for the legendary Real Madrid soccer team. Arturo receives a phone call with terrible news: his wife and daughter have been in an accident. Arturo collapses, Magda rushes him to the hospital where his wife lies in coma. These twin catastrophes give birth to a very special bond between Magda and Arturo – one that will endure as the courses of their lives take further twists and turns. Julio Medem's feature had its international premiere at Toronto International Film Festival 2015.
