Violeta no coge el ascensor

Fresh as a beer cane that soothes a summer afternoon, Mamen Díaz's debut feature poses with the lightness of a 21st-century Rohmer the eternal millennial dissatisfaction, in a world full of possibilities that makes it very difficult to choose just one.

Well knows Violeta, a twenty-something who does not know how to use her talent and grace, while spending the summer in Madrid, as an intern in a publishing house, plugged into the fan with her roommate and dodging the heat between affairs that far from clarifying doubts multiply them.

The film is an absolutely lowcost movie version of Hannah Takes the Stairs (Joe Swanberg, 2007), with dialogues full of naturalness and sparkle, a luminous interpretation of Violeta Rodríguez, with the buses of Madrid, its forty degrees in the shade and its interiors full of gotelé.
