A cynical former literature teacher falls for a pretty student who comes looking to him for advice in director Marcos Carnevale's tear-drenched drama. Pedro (Chete Lara) is an obnoxious, overbearing curmudgeon who lives his son Fidel (Raul Arevalo) but never has a kind word for the boy. While Pedro's best friend Gloria (Betiana Blum) tolerates her tempestuous pal's outbursts, their playful relationship takes a serious turn after Gloria is diagnosed with cancer. Meanwhile, left wing professor Pedro attempts to reconcile his feelings for pretty student Elena (Veronica Echegui), whose presence as of late has stirred long dormant romantic notions in the old man. Their lives will soon intersect with those of Argentinean orphan Santiago (Facundo Arana) and Amparo (Montse German), an eager mother to be. When Santiago's parents were killed in a car accident years ago, Gloria was kind enough to raise the boy as her own. Now, Amparo longs to adopt a child, and Santiago is willing to marry her if it means making her dream of motherhood come true. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An artist looking for inspiration finds something else when he meets a beautiful woman in this drama from Spanish filmmaker Cesc Gay. Alex is a film director edging into middle age and suffering from a creative block. Needing some fresh ideas for his next screenplay, Alex leaves his wife in Barcelona to visit his friend Santi (Javier Camara) in the countryside for a few days. Alex is surprised to learn Santi has other guests -- Judith (Carme Pla) and her musician friend Monica (Montse German). As Alex and Santi join Judith and Monica for dinner, they discuss their lives and careers and Alex begins to relax; life in the mountains proves to be a tremendous tonic for him, and he feels rested and confident. But the idyllic surroundings aren't making it any easier for him to write, and he feels a growing attraction to Monica which he suspects may be mutual -- not a simple matter for a man with a wife who is planning to adopt a daughter soon. Ficcion (aka Fiction received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
