The Other Way Around

Film director Ale and actor Alex have been together for fourteen years. When they realise that they have fallen out of love and agree to go they separate ways, they decide to celebrate the end of their relationship with a “break-up” party for friends and family. The idea prompts many different reactions, but also helps them face reality.

‘Trueba isn’t interested in presenting a trite generic storyline with a final - reel resolution. He is more intent on holding the whole romcom genre up to the light in a dizzying way’

★★★★ The Arts Desk

‘Tracing a breakup with earthy humour and meta storytelling, Spanish filmmaker Jonas Trueba is exploring modern romantic attitudes that sit at odds with the messaging in most movies.’
