Band Together
12ADirector: Daniel Sánchez Arévalo
Starring: Javier Gutiérrez, María Vázquez, Judith Fernández, Tamar Novas
Two years after the tragic sinking of a fishing boat that shook a small Galician coastal village, the locals decide it’s time to regain hope and leave mourning behind. They revive the “rondalla”, a traditional music ensemble where children and elders play together, with the intention of competing in a contest against neighbouring towns. Beyond the competition, their aim is to move forward and rebuild their community.
...it is essentially popular cinema. And it is so without condescension, without false modesty, without prejudice..." Luis Martínez, El Mundo
