Dismantling an Elephant - Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival

Marga, a famous architect, has spent the last couple of months in a rehabilitation centre for a crippling addiction which her family has experienced alongside her, in silence. When finally coming back home after this big change, Marga will have to rebuild her life and deal with new issues that come her way. On the other hand, her youngest daughter, Blanca, is affected by her mother’s experience, and the public nature of it, - which impacts her relationship, and alters her dream of being a professional ballerina. This film is about what it means to dismantle the elephant in the room - however, at the very least, the elephant is now openly talked about.Trigger warning: Contains scenes depicting verbal violence and emotional distress.Screening with descriptive subtitles
