Ángel Santos : 2014
The High Pressures
As a way of getting over his recent bitter romantic relationships, after living away from his native city for a long time due to work reasons, Miguel returns to Pontevedra to search for shooting locations for a film. Looking at his life with a lack of interest that goes a step beyond melancholy or nihilism, he finds it hard to get involved in what is happening, or to establish relationships with those around him. Nevertheless, this journey through the industrial ruins of the ria and through what is left of old friendships will put him in touch with himself again, and this may be the wake-up call that he needs. Seeing old friends and reminiscing about the good old days, he becomes thankful and has a chance to meet someone else to love. Ángel Santos's second feature premiered at Busan International Film Festival 2014, and was winner of the Best Film award at its European premiere in the Las Nuevas Olas section at Sevilla European Film Festival 2014.
