TIRANA, Nov 12 /ATA/ – Spanish cinema, known for its original storytelling and its ability to blend humour with human drama, is taking centre stage in Albania as part of Spanish Cultural Week.
The programme features A House on Fire (Casa en flames), directed by Dani de la Orden, a film exploring family relationships, expectations and human contradictions through a story that combines humour with emotional depth.
The film follows Montse, who is eagerly looking forward to bringing her family together for a weekend at her house in Cadaqués, on Spain’s Costa Brava. Long divorced, with her former husband having started a new life and her grown-up children absorbed in their own worlds, she is determined to make the family reunion perfect. But her desire to bring this dream of family togetherness to life leads her into unexpected situations and extreme decisions.
A House on Fire is among the acclaimed recent Spanish film productions. It won the 2024 Goya Award for Best Original Screenplay, the Forqué Audience Award and several Feroz Awards, while also receiving nominations at the Gaudí and Platino awards.
The film offers audiences an opportunity to discover one of the defining features of Spanish cinema: its ability to explore universal themes through complex characters, lively dialogue and a cinematic language that combines entertainment with reflection.
Casa en flames will be screened this evening at the Agimi Art Centre.
