Comedy/Drama
Three married couples undergoing therapy are summoned by their psychologist to a meeting. The psychologist won’t be attending the reunion herself, but she will give them instructions about what they must do. Thus, to the sound of a trumpet (literally), the six protagonists will gradually air the difficulties and resentment affecting their relationships, raising issues ranging from childcare and housework, to money, jealousies and sex. The eventual denouement is as unexpected as it is shocking.

Reviews

“Herrero has crafted a film almost like black comedy, with ironic and biting dialogues. ‘Under Therapy’ demonstrate that very harsh topics can be addressed without forgetting to entertain the viewer (...)” Nuria Vidal: Cinemanía.
