Beneath the blazing sun of Maspalomas in the Canary Islands, Vicente has spent twenty-five years enjoying a carefree retirement. But an accident wrenches him away from his paradise. Repatriated to Donostia, his daughter places him in a care home where time seems to stand still and ghosts from the past resurface. Forced once again to conceal his identity, one thought dominates his mind: escape… and reclaim the freedom of Maspalomas.
Maspalomas is more than just a poignant, serious, yet often amusing film. With its fearless exploration of sexuality and love in later life, and its striking visual style, marked by bold, sensual choices and a meticulously crafted aesthetic, it stands out as a truly remarkable film.
