An expectant, ultra-modern mother living in 1913 Barcelona is thrust into a complex and labyrinthine mystery when her psychiatrist husband goes missing and she is forced to seek the help of her conservative brother-in-law in locating her missing spouse in director Joaquin Oristrell's Freudian period comedy. Alma is a modern woman of very modern means; her father Spain's foremost neurosurgeon and her husband, Leon, a devoted follower of controversial Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud. After arriving home one summer afternoon to find her tearful husband mumbling incoherent words of woe, Alma's life is turned upside down when Leon suddenly disappears. With no one else to turn to than her lovelorn brother-in-law Salvador -- likewise a psychiatrist who secretly pines for Alma despite being married to her sister -- Alma's discovery of a strange manuscript on hysteria and female sexuality proves the launching point for a tireless quest to locate her missing husband and discover the true meaning behind his inexplicable disappearance. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

One man views four decades of Spanish history from the window of a bakery in this romantic melodrama. After the death of his father, young Miguel found himself helping his mother, Isabel (Veronica Forque), run the family's bake shop, and as he grew to adulthood Miguel (Carlos Fuentes) discovered he had both a gift and a passion for making cakes. After the death of his mother, Miguel falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful neighborhood girl, Angela (Maria Adanez), and he tries to show his affection by baking her one of his specialties. While Angela is touched by the gesture, when she goes off to college she falls for a student radical, Carlos (Roberto Alvarez), and becomes a member of a left-wing activist group. While Miguel and Angela find themselves following different paths in life, he finds he can't forget her, and despite the passing of time and the miles that often separate them, Angela is never far from Miguel's thoughts. Tiempos de Azucar was the first feature film directed by noted screenwriter Juan Luis Iborra. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
