El arte de volver

After living in New York for six years, Noemí returns to her home in Madrid to attend a casting that could change her life. During the first twenty-four hours of the young actress in the city, she will have a series of meetings and farewells that will help her appreciate the reason of life.

Her grandfather, who lives bedridden in a residence hall, encourages her to persevere in her dream of succeeding in the world of acting with determination and dedication while reviewing the best years of her life. At home, her little sister receives her coldly because time and distance have taken a toll on their relationship, turning the complicity they once had into a mixture of feelings that neither of them is sure how to handle. However with Carlos, a former partner, things are very different. They laugh together and walk through a pine forest because they had missed each other. On the other hand, there is Ana, an artist friend whose exhibition Noemí visits amidst amazement and fright. Finally, there is Radu, a driver of Romanian origin with whom Naomi will discover that she has more in common than it might appear at first glance. These encounters, although brief, lead Naomi to rethink her past, her future and even her place in the world. Directed and written by Pedro Collantes.
