This Friday, the film 'Viva', the directorial debut of actress Aina Clotet, premieres in cinemas across Spain. It is one of the most anticipated Spanish film releases of the season.
Shot in Cátalan, the tragicomedy explores themes including fear of death, dependence on romantic love and the will to live. The film won the Revelation Award at Critics' Week, the Cannes Film Festival's parallel section dedicated to discovering new voices.
'Viva' follows Nora, a woman in her forties trying to rebuild her life after recovering from breast cancer. Her plans begin to unravel when she meets Max, a man in his early twenties who disrupts her fragile stability.
To learn more about the film and her experience behind the camera in her first feature film, we have the opportunity to interview Áina Clotét.
