Spanish director Raimon Masllorens's defiantly unsentimental and understated slice-of-life drama Without You (akaSin Ti) observes the day-to-day events that befall a wife and mother of two, following an unanticipated (and seemingly indefinite) spate of blindness. Ana Fernandez stars as Lucia, an artist and homemaker whose life turns a dark corner when she slips in the shower and injures herself, completely losing her eyesight from the accident. Crippled by grief, Lucia sinks into a mire of self-pity. Meanwhile, instead of demonstrating sympathy, Lucia's daughter, Alba (Maria Salas), grows indignant over her mother's sudden weakness and dependency. Alicia Luna and Pau Garsaball co-authored the script; Pep Menné co-stars as Lucia's husband, Toni. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

A handful of young people try to sort out the complications of their relationships -- both romantic and familial -- in this comedy drama from Spain. Jorge (Quim Gutierrez) is a guy in his mid-twenties trying to get his life in order as he looks after his father Andres (Hector Colome), who has recently suffered a stroke. Relations are tense between Jorge and Andres, and Jorge thinks one of their arguments may have led to his father's illness. While Andres recovers, Jorge covers his shifts as a janitor, and spends his spare time hanging out with his friend Israel (Raul Arevalo), who is coming to terms with his sexuality, and corresponding with his one-time girlfriend Natalia (Eva Pallaares), who is now attending college in Germany. Meanwhile, Jorge's brother Antonio (Antonio de la Torre) has stumbled into an unusual new relationship -- Antonio is in prison, and while assisting with a theater production being staged behind bars, he becomes infatuated with Paula (Marta Etura), who is both a cast member and a prisoner. Paula wants a baby despite the fact she's in jail, but Antonio isn't so sure he wants to be the father.
