European Union Film Festival: Toronto, Ottawa, VancouverNov 14–Dec 05

Pragda is proud to partner with the Embassy of Spain in Ottawa and the European Union Film Festival to bring All the Women to the festival’s fantastic line-up. The film will screen at The Royal in Toronto on November 14-27, at the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa on November 14-December 1, and at the Pacific Cinémathèque in Vancouver on November 21-December 5.

Spanish machismo is picked apart with surgical precision in Mariano Barroso’s engrossing All the Women, the most tightly-focused and emotionally penetrating film in a quietly formidable body of work from the director Mariano Barroso.
Winner of the Goya, Spain’s answer to the Oscar, for Best Adapted Screenplay, Barroso’s provocative takedown of Spanish machismo follows Nacho (Eduard Fernandez), a down and out veterinarian, who seeks advice from the most important women in his life –his lover, his ex-wife, his mother, his sister-in-law and his psychologist– after his scheme to steal five horses from his father-in-law falls apart. He soon finds his character indicted by each one of them.

With Eduard Fernández, Michelle Jenner, Nathalie Poza, Petra Martínez, María Morales, Marta Larralde, Lucía Quintana.
