Synopsis
The thousand shades and lights of Spanish cinema
Isabel’s life takes an unexpected turn when her daughter Madalen asks her to visit her ex-husband Ramón, from whom she has been separated for 15 years and who is relatively ill—and the resentment she feels towards him awakens. The former couple gradually engages in a reinvented relationship.A gentle film, and accurate, that creates its own music and tells the story of a life for which a new score is being composed. Glimmers is remarkable in the way it patiently sketches relationships that are rewritten without great effect or drama.
« C'est le travail d’une réalisatrice capable de raconter avec une sensibilité singulière, avec sincérité, simplicité et retenue, sans prétention, des histoires humaines, et de rendre à travers des images ces "éclats", qui sont ce qui compte vraiment dans la vie. » Júlia Olmo, www.cineuropa.org, 22/09/2024
