Bitter Christmas
Pedro Almodóvar
An advertising director faces a turbulent Christmas weekend. 20 years later, a filmmaker turns her story into a screenplay, blurring the lines between reality, fiction and the people closest to him.



Nathalia Konchalovsky’s feature debut is a quiet, subtly-acted study of the search for fulfilment in a Moscow where the millennial young are confronted by the same complexities as their counterparts in any other of the world’s big cities: achieving a work-life balance in the digital world, the perils of social stigma and the need, or otherwise, for a stable relationship.
